Neither do I condemn you.

“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 anymore.” (JN 8: 10-11)

Our Lord came to save us, not to condemn. He knows that we are sinners, that we make mistakes, that we fall and fall again. He is not interested in our sins, our mistakes; He wants us to go, to grow, to be united with Him, and to be holy. He reminds us: “I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked man, but rather in his conversion, that he may live.” 

“I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked man, says the Lord, but rather in his conversion, that he may live.” (Verse before the Gospel)
