Lord Jesus, today you showed mercy to a woman who was accused of adultery. Many times, we stand over others in condemnation and judgment;

may your challenge penetrate our hearts so that we drop our stones and walk away knowing that we, too, are sinners. May we talk and act with compassion with our brothers and sisters; help us to see each others' mistakes and failures with compassio and nnot with condemnation and an uncharitable way.

As we stand condemned for our sin, may your mercy enable us to go forward and sin no more.

Amen.

The Grotto has been a special destination for millions of people throughout the world for generations. The good work of The Grotto has only been possible through the generous support of individuals and organizations who want to see The Grotto continue its mission of being a place of solitude, peace and prayer.

The cost of maintaining a 54-acre shrine, open daily, is immense. We need your help now more than ever.

Our Friends of The Grotto program is a wonderful way to help The Grotto and to enjoy special events and benefits.
