5th Sunday of Lent 2022 Year C Fr A Paul Homily – 3rd April 2022

Is 43:16-21, Phil 3:8-14 and Gospel: Jn 8:1-11 True Freedom is rooted in the person of Jesus, not in observance of the Law. It is he who challenges us to examine our own hearts before self-righteously judging others. Mercy is God’s Business Mercy meets Misery God wants us not that We Die but that We Live God is interested in Sinners He came to call Sinners to Repentance Jesus straightened up and said to them, “Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” Again he bent down and wrote on the ground. And in response, they went away one by one, beginning with the elders. So he was left alone with the woman before him. Then Jesus straightened up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” She replied, “No one, sir.” Then Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go, and from now on do not sin any more.”
