lsaiah 43:16-21 / Philippians 3:8-14 / John 8:1-11
The adulterous woman should have been stoned. lnstead, the only sounds piercing the air were those of stones hitting the ground (Thud. Thud. Thud.) and sandaled feet trudging away in defeat (Shuffle. Shuffle.Shuffle.). "See, l'm doing something new. lt springs forth; do you not Perceive it?" The lsraelites were grounded in memories of God's great deeds for them. To be told by God to "remember not the events of the past" and anticipate something new presented quite a challenge.

"Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her." Doing something new, Jesus turned the law upside down. His wisdom exposed the foolishness of the scribes and Pharisees. They could only shake their heads in silence, drop their stones, and shuffle away.
Wednesday, March zo: 8 am Mass: t Leiu Ah-Key requested by Lorrie Chee
We are the lsraelite people. We are the woman caught in adultery. We are the stone-grasping accusers. We cling to our expectations of how God should acl. We cling to sinful behavior. We cling to judgment of others.

love. Mercy trumps vengeance. Compassion trumps violence.
requested by Toni Farm
Can you hear the new thing God is doing? The woman caught in adultery heard it. The scribes and Pharisees heard it. lt sounds like stones dropping. lt sounds like accusers shuffling away. lt is the mercy of God pouring down on Janel Esker sundaybulletin@liguori.org us. Do you not perceive it?

The meatless feast usually includes baked items, beans, nuts, fruits, and seafood presented in ways that symbolize elements of the faith. Prayerful rituals and children portraying the Holy Family add to the celebration and heritage. Whether the altar is modest or elaborate, at home or in church, it's a labor of love meant to strengthen the bonds of family and friends in its preparation and to strengthen one's faith and chariry in its execution.
