The gospel today presents us a very interesting contrast between the Pharisees and Jesus. When the woman was caught in the act of adultery, the Pharisees were only interested in the woman's sin. They had no regard for the woman herself - as a person, as a human being. They were only interested to use her as a trap for Jesus. But Jesus was full of compassion. He restored the woman spiritually by forgiving her and telling her to go and sin no more. He restored her to society by saving her life.
No one knows what Jesus wrote on the ground. On this Fifth Sunday of Lent, let us reflect on how Jesus restored us from our brokenness. May we truly celebrate God's mercy during this final week of our Lenten journey, so that as we enter Holy Week we can be one with Jesus in his suffering and death. Only then can we be with him in his resurrection.
