ALL I WANT TO NOW IS CHRIST ANF THE RESSURECTION
We are invited today to recognise the utter completeness of God’s forgiveness, and his desire to restore us to new life.
In the First Reading, the prophet Isaiah tells how the people learned anew that their God was to be known not only through remembering the past, but also in the experience of their lives in the here and now. The Psalm recalls and celebrates the joy experienced by the exiles as they return home. God’s mercies in the past give grounds for hope in any present distress.
Paul in the Second Reading loves Christ deeply, and vividly longs to ‘have Christ, and be given a place in him’. He yearns to be in an intimate relationship with him. Yet he also knows that he cannot be complacent and that he is still ‘straining ahead’ for what is to come.
The Gospel tells the story of those who look for the public humiliation and condemnation of the woman taken in adultery, and also of Jesus himself. The accusers have a narrow view of the mercy of God, and wish to use the woman as an opportunity for scoring points against Jesus. However, Jesus understands wisely and demonstrates bravely the overwhelming mercy of God.
Let us pray to experience the complete acceptance and forgiveness of Jesus in our lives this day. As followers of Christ, may we be heralds of his life-giving love, mercy and freedom to the world.
