Homily #100313ms ( 11min) Play -
In the story of Susanna and the Elders, and then again in the story of the woman caught in adultery, Our Lord shows how He came to bring about the triumph of His mercy.
By His justice He gives us what we deserve. By His mercy, He gives us far better than what we deserve, He gives us what we don’t deserve – He gives us life when we deserve death.

Sell what you possess and give alms. Make to yourselves bags which grow not old, a treasure in heaven which faileth not: where no thief approacheth, nor moth corrupteth. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
