In his homily for the Fifth Sunday of Lent, Archbishop Cordileone breaks down for us the Gospel of the woman caught in adultery:
“Jesus lowers himself to be equal to her on her level, entering into a conversation with her to help her understand why it is that she sins, why she is stuck in this pattern of self-destructive behavior. He enters into her shadow side with her to set her free from this kind of addictive behavior that enslaves the spirit. He is leading her to the true freedom of the children of God. That is how Jesus deals with us, and this, then, is the next lesson: if we allow him to, Jesus will enter into our shadow side to help us understand why it is that we slip into patterns of sinful behavior, so he can set us free on the inside and make us capable of life with him.”
