Daily Thoughts - into the deep.
"Then Jesus straightened up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" She replied, "No one, sir." Then Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go, [and] from now on do not sin any more."] John 8:10-11
Amend your life. A woman caught in adultery encounters Jesus, the rightful judge. Jesus looks up at her and with the compassion that only God can give, releases her from her bondage and forgives her. He would soon pay the price for their sin, the reason He became the Son of Man.
He knew her story, He knew her life and the lives of those she laid with. He had everything He needed to condemn her yet He knew she had yet to experience the love of His Father. Have you ever found yourself in her predicament, guilty with no way out, what is one to do?
Look up, seek God and amend your life, follow His direction. God recognizes the trials we are under, He knows who convicts us and He seeks us to place our trust in Him by turning to Him. Look up, amend your life and sin no more. It is His strength that we need, that piercing gaze that gives us strength. Continue your journey to the cross.
Dear Father, I have no right to judge even if I have all the facts, in doing so I am condemning myself. Your love is what we each need in this world that seeks to condemn us. Prayers for a friend under the influence of evil, may they amend their lives and become Your beautiful creation doing Your will. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Pray for us.
St Ignatius, Pray for us.

Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
