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.
