04/06/19 - Friar Nader - The First Stone  

Friar Nader teaches on the story of the woman caught in adultery. We learn that Jesus doesn’t keep a list of our wrongdoings to hold over our heads, that He doesn’t condemn, but liberates and forgives. He tells us to “go and sin no more”, which also means to forgive ourselves and living differently.

Friar Nader teaches from the Sunday gospel about our desire to remember the moment, but more often than not, we want a record of our happy moments, not the sad or difficult ones. The disciples do the same thing, wanting to stay in the moment of the Transfiguration, but have difficulty accepting the cross, and that it actually gives us hope.

During our Saturday Mass, our Pastor, Friar Rick teaches from the gospel on the Transfiguration. When we are seeking God and consider ourselves close to God, we expect things to go perfectly. In reality, we need to be willing to encounter and live through struggles, disappointments and doubts. As Christians, we are called to use those as moments of ongoing conversion.
