9:30 a.m. Mass of the Fifth Sunday of Lent

#LIVE | Welcome to St. Bernard Catholic faith community in Glassell Park, California, and our celebration of the Fifth Sunday of Lent. See, I am doing something new! + Caught! Caught in the very act! Cannot escape! Now to be condemned to die! Can it get any worse? Is there anything else that could happen now? Yes, the woman caught in the act of adultery is now dragged before Jesus the great teacher as a pawn to be used to attempt to embarrass and condemn him. Used and humiliated, she stands before Jesus. And what happened next? Freed! Forgiven! Not condemned! Catapulted into a new direction, a new life. Mercy and forgiveness are at the heart of this Gospel of hope. + As we continue our #Lent celenrations, and look forward to #Easter, we gather as the Body of Christ, #LACatholics, and our viewers around the world — especially our online communities in the #Philippines, and #Italy. Where are you watching from? Let us know in the comments! Maligayang pagdating! and Benvenuto!
