5th Sunday of Lent

The woman caught in adultery stood nearly naked and humiliated in the midst of Jesus and the Pharisees and scribes and couldn’t escape from the fact that she was being dragged her death. But she encounters and receives Divine Mercy, who Himself will be utterly humiliated and naked when He is placed in the midst of two thieves and raised up high on the cross in taking on not just her sin, but all of our sins and shame in suffering death for our sake in an act of supreme love engraved on the wood of the cross that no wind could ever erase.
