GOSPEL
How to Be Kind and Forgiving: A Woman is Brought to Jesus
- Jesus teaches at the temple: Jesus was teaching people in a special place called the temple. It’s like a big church where people go to learn about God and pray.
- A woman is brought to Jesus: Some people brought a lady to Jesus who had done something wrong. They wanted to see how Jesus would help her.
- The people wanted to trick Jesus: These people were trying to play a game with Jesus. They thought they could make Him say something wrong, but Jesus is very wise and kind.
- Jesus is gentle and caring: Instead of being mad at the lady, Jesus was very understanding and kind. He wanted her to learn from her mistake and become a better person.
- Jesus shows us how to forgive: Jesus forgave the lady and told her not to do the bad thing again. This teaches us that we should be forgiving and kind to others, even when they make mistakes.
- Jesus is a great teacher: Everyone who heard Jesus that day learned a lot from Him. They saw how He was wise, gentle, and kind, and wanted to be more like Him. We can learn from Jesus too and try our best to be good and kind to others.
This story from John 8:1-11 teaches us to be kind, forgiving, and always try to learn from our mistakes. Jesus is our loving teacher who shows us how to be better people and love one another.

Hi friends! My name is Ana, and today I want to tell you about a story from the Bible. It’s from a book called John, and it talks about a time when Jesus taught people about being kind and forgiving.
One day, Jesus was teaching people at a special place called the temple. The temple was like a big church where people went to learn about God and pray. Lots of people came to listen to Jesus because He was very wise and kind.

Sticks and stones…?
We should respond to annoyance with kindness and love, recognizing the inherent value in everyone and avoiding the harm of hurtful words or actions.
- 00:00 Hurting others with words or actions, like throwing stones, is wrong and we must be cautious about our reactions to those who annoy us.
- 00:55 Everyone has faced hurtful words, but it’s important to remember that we are more than our mistakes.
- 01:34 Remember that everyone carries a piece of God within them, so always choose kindness and love.

OSV Family
Activities
Choose one of the following OUR SUNDAY VISITOR activities as a way to further reflect on the Sunday readings:
Gather family members in a circle. Talk about how your Lenten observances help you grow in friendship with Jesus. Serve pretzels as a reminder of the need for fasting and prayer during Lent.
The message from this Sunday’s Gospel is that Jesus doesn’t condemn us; rather he wants us to receive his forgiveness and love. Reflect on your family relationships. Write a brief letter to a member of your family that you have not forgiven.
Jesus wants us to live in the freedom of his love. As a family, plan to spend time with someone who is feeling trapped physically or emotionally. This could be a young mother who needs time alone away from the kids, a homebound elderly neighbor, or a classmate who is trapped by put-downs, prejudice or poverty.
This week pray together the following Act of Contrition for your family evening or meal prayer: My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things. I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin. Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. In his name, my God, have mercy. Amen.

Throwing Stones

OBJECTS: Your own hand and enough stones to give one to each child.
One day Jesus got up early and went to the temple. As often happened, a group of people gathered around Jesus and he sat down and began to teach them. As he was teaching, some teachers of the law brought a woman who had been living a sinful life and made her stand before Jesus. “Teacher,” they said, “this woman was caught in a terrible act of sin. The law of Moses says that she should be punished by stoning. What do you say?” The Bible tells us that they were trying to trap Jesus into saying something against their laws so that they could bring charges against him.
Jesus bent down and began writing with his finger in the dirt. The men kept questioning Jesus trying to get him to say something. Finally, Jesus stood and said to them, “Whoever is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her,” then he bent down and continued writing in the dirt. The men who had accused the woman looked at one another and walked away.
Jesus stood and spoke to the woman. “Where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?” he asked.

A High Calling
Sermon Writer
OBJECTS: Knitted items, or ask a knitter to demonstrate while you present the lesson that part of the lesson.
Have you ever tried to learn something new and found it difficult? How about when you were quite young and were learning to tie your shoes? That is a difficult task for tiny hands. I can imagine that you had to try over and over again to tie a strong bow that wouldn’t slip.
Can you share some of your experiences when you tried to learn to do something new? Did you become discouraged?
As an adult I wanted to learn how to knit. I had to learn how to put stitches on the needles, how to read directions, and how to make those directions become a knitted hat or scarf or sweater. Sometimes I would make a mistake and end up with a hole in my knitting where none should be.
In the Bible the apostle, Paul talks about learning how to become a good Christian. He found it difficult and said he was not “perfect,” but he “pressed on” (3:12).
He gives advice and says to “forget… the things which are behind, and stretch… forward to the things which are before.” (3:13).
