So my brothers and sisters, let us go and make our families holy like the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph today by making God the center of our families and by truly and sincerely loving one another.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, it is time to stay away from and give up everything that keeps us from loving God, listening to His word, accepting His word, following Him and living out His commandments. So let us detach ourselves from earthly attachments and keep Jesus’s teaching in today’s gospel reading in mind.
So my brothers and sisters in Christ, let us learn to be compassionate and forgiving as God is to us and as Jesus was to the woman caught in adultery in today’s gospel reading, by not judging people, by letting go of the hurt we have experienced from others; and by truly trusting in God’s mercy, grace and love, as we repent from our sins and reconcile ourselves with Him.
