Fifth Sunday of Lent, Year C

My offenses truly I know them (Ps. 51:5)

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted two weeks ago in Marin County, California, its operation dubbed “Return to Sender” (cf. [1]and [2]). According to an ICE report, contested by opponents, agents arrested 65 people and deported 23 (cf. [3] and [4]). The presumed undocumented immigrants were caught red-handed, so to speak—in more or less the same manner that the woman in this Sunday’s gospel was caught in the very act of committing adultery.
