REFLECTION:
“Do you see this woman?”  The Pharisee looks at her and sees only a sinner.  Jesus looks at her and sees a sinner who repents.  He sees her tremendous humility, her great sorrow, her desire to minister to him, her “great love,” her saving faith.  What does Jesus see when he looks at us?  What do we see when we look at one another?

  • I see family members, closest friends, colleagues at work as . . .
  • What I need to see in myself in order to repent is . . .
  • Jesus sees in me . . . .

Connecting the Gospel
to the first reading: No number of sins or heinousness of deeds is too great for God to forgive.  God, through Naman the prophet, forgives David’s sins of adultery and murder.  Jesus, himself the prophet, forgives the “sinful woman.”

to our experience: We tend to find it easier to stereotype people than to look into their hearts and really see them for who they are.  As followers of Jesus we are called to see others as he does.
