She is a sinner

“When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this he said to himself, ‘If this man were a prophet, he would know who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, that she is a sinner.’” (LK 7: 39)

How easy it is to recognize somebody as a sinner; even our relatives or spouses. We are so quick to judge. Our Lord protects our dignity; He knows our hearts, our motives, and our weaknesses. When we come to Him, we can always count on His mercy and love. When we meet our spouses and relatives, maybe they can count on ours. 

“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest, says the Lord.” (Gospel Acclamation)
