Within the lessons that Jesus offers us, it is remarkable the lesson that He delivers to those who, in the public square, wanted to stone the woman who was caught in adultery.

The mob, when confronting Master Galileo, provoked Him meaningfully, questioning about what to do: follow the Mosaic Law, stoning her or defy the law, releasing the woman.

Jesus, deep knowledge of human nature, says that it could stone her the ones who had no mistakes in their soul.

And, slowly, first the older ones, after the young, they all left the square, as the Gospel narrates.

Thus we are. We bear in our soul the weight of mistakes and bad act that we are still connected with.

In a single sentence, Jesus teaches us that we must forgive the mistakes of others since we are also needy of forgiveness.

We understand, then, how it is due to sympathize with our mistakes and to with someone else’s mistakes.

Thus, if we perceive in error, if we act in a reprehensible manner, understand such moments as opportunities for reflection and learning.

The guilt, resulting from mistake, must take our mental home long enough for the reflection about the equivocal attitude.

Soon after, it must be replaced by regret and remedial action, seeking to experience the rightness.

We must never allow that guilt earns larger spaces than it should in our mental and emotional home.

When we shelter it in our intimacy for a long period, easily it will be transformed in unhealthy process, leading us to depression and complex mechanisms of guilt and self-punishment.

Therefore, no matter what the gravity or the weight of our attitude is, understand that they are natural stones in our walking.

But, it should also be natural the strong will of setting the step, rebuild yourself from the mistake made, searching for the rightness.

Neither the worrying and complacent attitude to comply or get accustomed to the mistake, nor the exaggerations of excessive guilt.

Before our errors, let us dress ourselves of humility and courage to redo our paths, from the point at which we got it wrong and thus write our history.

Mary of  Magdala, the mistaken, after finding Jesus, filled herself up with courage not to make more mistakes.

She rephrased her life, followed Jesus and, even after His death, continued living the principles that He had taught.

Simon Peter, having denied to dear friend by three times, has had the courage to face his mistake to adjust soon, attending to all in His name, preaching His Gospel until his last days.

Let us also be capable of, before the errors, fill ourselves with courage to, facing ourselves, correct the step, having Jesus as reference and sustenance in all  days of our life.
