The love of God for each one of us has no limit - Mercy is given to ALL and ANYONE! - may we seek it and may those who fear approach: those are the ones to whom God gives mercy with even more abundance: for they are humble.

2. Gospel: A reading taken from the Good News according to St.John. (Chap 8, verses 1-11)

3. Then Jesus went up to the Mount of Olives.

4. The next day, before sunrise, He returned to the temple.

5. All the people came to Him and He sat down and began teaching them.

6. Then the Scribes and Pharisees brought before Him a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery.

7. They made her stand in front of everyone and said to Him: “ Master, we have caught this woman in the act of adultery.

8. Now, the Law of Moses orders that such a woman be stoned to death

9. but what do you say?” They said this to ensnare Him so that they may have some charge against Him.

10. But Jesus bent down and started to write in the dust with his finger.

11. Because they kept asking, Jesus stood up straight and said to them: “ Whoever among you is without sin, let him cast the first stone at her.”

12. And He bent down again writing in the dust.

13. As soon as they heard Him say this, they went away, one by one, starting with the elders.

14. Jesus alone remained, with the woman standing before Him. He stood up and said to her: “ Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”

15. “ No one, Master” she replied.

16. “ Neither will I condemn you then,” Jesus said. “ Go and from this day forth sin no more.”

17. The Word of God! Praised be Jesus!
