Isaiah 43:16-21

Psalm 126

Philippians 3:8-14

John 8:1-11

Introduction to the Liturgy of the Word

Isaiah rhapsodizes about what God has done for us,

providing dry land through the sea and a way through

the desert. In the Gospel, Jesus finds a way to save the

adulterous woman’s life, then forgives her for the path

she had taken. Saint Paul attests that in Christ he has

found the only way that matters. As we listen to to-

day’s readings, let us examine the path we are on in our

own lives.

In what ways is God creating something new in me? In

others?

Quinto Domingo de Cuaresma

Isaías 43:16-21

Salmo 126

Filipenses 3:8-14

Juan 8:1-11

Introducción a la Liturgia de laPalabra

Isaías hace una rapsodia aerca de lo que Dios ha hecho

por nosotros: nos abrió un camino en el mar y tambíén

en medio del desierto. En el Evangelio Jesús encuentra

una manera de salvar la vida de la mujer adúltera y

después perdona el camino que ella había tomado. San

Pablo testifica que ha encontrado en Cristo el único

camino que es importante. Al escuchar las lecturas de

hoy examinemos el camino en que nos encontramos en

este moment de nuestra vida.

¿De qué maneras está Dios creando algo nuevo en mi y

en los demás?
