The woman caught in adultery stood before Christ completely vulnerable, fearing death and damnation. Yet Jesus silenced her accusers with his just and merciful love, restoring her dignity and her life. Seminarian Mark Tobin of St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania shares how the Lord does the same for us when we have been wounded and alienated by our sins. By humbly giving our brokenness to Christ, we are cleansed and renewed -- and free to share that mercy with others. (Image: Andrey Mironov, "Christ and the Sinner" via Creative Commons).
