Homily given at the 11:30 a.m.
Mass on Sunday, March 17, 2013, the Fifth Sunday
of Lent, by Fr. Ed Fride, Pastor, Christ the King Catholic
Church. In today's Gospel, the woman caught
in the act of adultery experiences the unconditional love and
forgiveness of Jesus. St. Patrick, whose feast would normally be
celebrated today, also experienced the love and mercy of Jesus. He
allowed Jesus to so deeply convert him that he wanted to share that
love with the Irish, who had kidnapped him as a youth. He will
always take care of us, if we will let Him convert our hearts and
make them like His.
Key words: love,
forgiveness, mercy
