We all know this story so well. Its early morning and the heat of the day has yet to arrive. Jesus comes into the temple area and people gather around to listen to what he has to say. An angry crowd of scribes and Pharisees intrude on Jesus’ gathering. They drag along a humiliated, frightened woman. She was caught committing adultery. They don’t have to remind Jesus, but they do, that the Law of Moses demands that such a woman should be stoned to death. I have no idea what the law says about a man caught in adultery. We’re quick to notice he is not on the scene. Maybe her husband took care of him by the famous crime of passion.

This one of those gospel stories we all know by heart. The know-it- all son wanting to take off, see the world, make his mark. He had to get off that boring farm and see the city lights. We know what happened. His plans and dreams fell apart and he comes home hanging his head and mumbling ‘I’m sorry.’ Of course his father is overjoyed to see his lost son. He runs to him, embraces him and welcomes him home with a party. Maybe the father knew his son well enough that he knew he was too young, too inexperienced to be out on his own. He knew his son would blow it, he just hoped he’d have the brains to come home; he hoped his son would trust that his father loved him enough to take him back. It was a gamble the father took.
Founded by St. Paul of the Cross, every Passionist takes a special vow to spend his or her energies in promoting remembrance of the sufferings of Jesus, the memory of the Cross, and reflection of the meaning of the Cross for the world.
