Our teleconference number is 16467699900, conference ID 10927#. Gospel Message John 8:1-11 Woman caught in Adultery This passage tells us about people who came to Jesus with di erent mindsets. The Pharisees and scribes were sure they were right and the woman knew that she had done wrong. The e ecting of meeting Jesus and letting Him into their lives changes them powerfully. The Pharisees and scribes, through the words of Jesus were able to see that they too were sinners, like the woman they were accusing and they were not perfect. The woman, expecting to be punished for her error, received a lovely acceptance from Jesus which must have left a lasting impression on her. A meeting with Jesus is always a life-giving experience, as he himself has said “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life” Fr.

SMKCP Voice Sunday, March 27, 2022 Saint Stephen of Mar Saba Saint Stephen of Mar Saba’s Story A “do not disturb” sign helped today’s saint nd holiness and peace Stephen of Mar Saba was the nephew of Saint John Damascene, who introduced the young boy to monastic life beginning at age 10. When he reached 24, Stephen served the community in a variety of ways, including guest master. After some time he asked permission to live a hermit’s life. The answer from the abbot was yes and no: Stephen could follow his preferred lifestyle during the week, but on weekends he was to o er his skills as a counselor. Stephen placed a note on the door of his cell: “Forgive me, Fathers, in the name of the Lord, but please do not disturb me except on Saturdays and Sundays. Despite his calling to prayer and quiet, Stephen displayed uncanny skills with people and was a valued spiritual guide His biographer and disciple wrote about Stephen: “Whatever help, spiritual or material, he was asked to give, he gave. He received and honored all with the same kindness. He possessed nothing and lacked nothing. In total poverty he possessed all things. Stephen died in 794 Re ection Saint Stephen of Mar Saba knew the value of solitude. Even though he was generous and served whoever came to him, he relished his time alone. Maybe we can learn from him the value of solitude and seek it out a little more in our lives https://www.franciscanmedia.org/saint-of-the-day/saint-stephen-of-mar-saba Weekly Bulletin 3 . lf . ” . ”ff .if
