In today’s Gospel reading, John 8:7, Jesus is reminding me to stop pointing fingers at other people. Jesus wants me to stop focusing on others and begin focusing on myself and my mistakes. Pin pointing other people’s mistakes makes me a very prideful person which is not pleasing to God. Therefore, He wants me to come clean before Him through repentance by asking God to give me the grace to change my bad ways. Therefore, today, I pray for God’s grace to change me from within me and to continuously keep my eyes on Him in all circumstances.
今天的若望福音第8章7节中 耶稣在提醒我不要对人评头论足。耶稣要我停止关注他人并开始专注于我自己和我的过错。指责他人的过错会让我变成一个很傲慢的人，这是天主视为恶的事。因此，祂希望我通过悔改在祂面前坦白，请求天主给我恩典来改变我的坏习惯。因此今天，我祈求天主的恩典使我打从心底的去改变，并让我持续的在任何情况中能专注与祂。
