CYCLES OF FAITH
"The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in
adultery and made her stand in the middle." The episode of the woman
caught in adultery is a powerful story. We have perhaps all felt as the
woman has at some point in our lives, surrounded by those who would
condemn us. The beauty of Christ's mercy at the end is clear ? and a wel-
come relief as we all struggle to be good and holy people. But have we
ever imagined ourselves on the edge of the circle? Have we pictured our-
selves in the sea of dusty robes? Perhaps, we hope, we're hovering at the
How easy it is to be righteous when someone else's reputation is at stake.
When the small child is acting up in the grocery store or on the plane.
When another company has a scandal break or a major error sets back their
profits. Could it be easy to pick up the stone and feel its weight and heft in
our hands? Because if we've got a stone in our hands, our own righteous
category is clear. Our judgment is our insurance that we won't be on the
receiving end of the criticism. If we can point out a wrong, surely we are
firmly in the right.
"'Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at
her' ? they went away one by one." This Lent, not only are we invited to
receive God's mercy, but to show God's mercy. As the season begins to
wind to a close, consider those in your life you tend to judge the most
harshly. What is one concrete way you can drop your stone?

Some celebrities do a lot to help out various causes that are meaningful
to them. Sometimes they give of their time, talent, or treasure, while
other times they create giving opportunities for the rest of us to be gener-
ous. The celebrity then does much to highlight the cause, and the hope is
that enough people will give to make a difference.
I never judge another's motive when they choose to give to or support a
cause. However, I hear many times a criticism levied against seemingly
rich people who start a fundraiser and ask the rest of us to give: "Since
they have so much money, they could simply give all the money needed
themselves!" This exclamation often comes with disdain and a tone of

so there probably won't be a crowd of people to question the level of
your sacrifice, devotion, and generosity this Lent. Of course, God knows
