Thus was innocent blood spared that day. (Daniel 13:1-9, 15-17, 19-30, 33-62)
“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.” (Jn 8:1-11)

In the story of Susanna God saves the innocent. In the gospel story of the woman caught in adultery, Jesus saves the guilty. The good news of Lent is that all, innocent and guilty, are saved! https://youtu.be/JbQUA6HVQl8?si=lOPZXSYDSHi2Ukfc
These reflections are a result of more than 40 years of ministry as a Roman Catholic priest. Most of these years I spent in the Diocese of Charlotte which covers Western North Carolina. Now I am retired, and live in Medellín, Colombia where I continue to serve as a priest in the Archdiocese of Medellín.
Monday V, Lent
