We would do well to follow their example and see the works of Jesus and his sacrifice as being in the present, as happening to us now. We believe that Christ s work, his teachings, and his sacrifice on the cross were not just for his followers in the past, but for all people at all times. When we think of this in our prayers, we become one in faith with that great cloud of witnesses, the saints. We have been striving through Lent to repent of our sins and failings, and to follow Jesus more closely. Today in the story of the woman caught in adultery, we see Jesus forgiving the woman, saving her from a horrible death, and urging her not to sin any more. This is new, and brings out something for which the law had not allowed forgiveness. Of course one can sin no more if one is dead, caught in one s sins forever. But Jesus introduces the concepts of forgiveness and reconciliation.

5 Fifth Sunday of Lent Page 5 APRIL IS NATIONAL CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH Understanding Child Abuse and Neglect In addition to the impact on the child and family, child abuse and neglect affect various systems - including medical and mental health, law enforcement, judicial, public, social services, and nonprofit agencies - as they respond to the incident and support the victim. One analysis of the immediate and long-term economic impact of child abuse and neglect suggests that child maltreatment costs the nation as much as $258 million each day, or approximately $94 billion each year. What Are the Warning Signs? The first step in helping or getting help for an abused or neglected child is to identify the signs and symptoms of abuse. The table below lists some symptoms of the four major types of child maltreatment. The presence of a single sign does not prove child abuse is occurring in a family; however, when these signs appear repeatedly or in combination you should consider the possibility of maltreatment. Maltreatment Type Neglect Physical Abuse Sexual abuse Emotional abuse Symptoms Signs of malnutrition Poor hygiene Unattended physical or medical problems Un explained bruises, burns, or welts Child appears frightened of a parent or caregiver Pain, bleeding, redness, or swelling in anal or genital area Age-inappropriate sexual play with toys, self, or others Age-inappropriate knowledge of sex Extremes in behavior, ranging from overly aggressive to overly passive Delayed physical, emotional, or intellectual development On the Child Welfare information Gateway Website For more information about: Why child abuse occurs: How many children are abused: prevalence/ Consequences of child abuse and neglect: can/impact/ Warning signs:
