Today’s Gospel repeats last week’s message of mercy. Jesus finds himself amid an angry crowd ready to condemn a woman caught in adultery. According to Jewish custom at that time, this woman should have been stoned to death to satisfy Mosaic Law. But Jesus extends mercy.

Last week, we reflected on the sacraments and the healing grace God offers us in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.  And today, Laetare Sunday, the halfway mark of Lent, we reflect on the Parable of the Prodigal Son.

Last week, we reflected on Christ’s glory, our mortality and our eternal life. We are called to be partakers of God’s divine life. Christ provides us the ordinary means for us to do just that through the sacraments.
