Text Box: BULLETIN CONNECTION We’re no stranger to the thinking of Simon the Pharisee in today’s Gospel. At times, we all find it easy to be judgmental. We look at others and we take their measure. Sometimes such an action is innocuous. At other times, we act much like Simon the Pharisee did. We come up with an assessment that we believe to be an accurate measure of the man or woman. Simon looked at the woman with a critical eye, believing her to be only a sinner, and nothing more. Jesus saw her in an entirely different light - someone who was searching, someone who, as Jesus said, “has shown great love.” When we look at others we can never know all the complexity that is in someone’s life. Only God can know that. If that is the case, then it might be better for us to err on the side of graciousness, giving someone the benefit of the doubt. Judging someone else is best left to God.
