Víctor Sono Neira spent years trapped in addiction and crime as an international pickpocket. In a radical change of heart, he chose to live on the streets of Lima, Peru’s historic downtown in search of redemption. A devotee of the Lord of Miracles, he gave the broken pieces of his life to Jesus and today, at the age of 72, he is a living testimony to God’s mercy and forgiveness.“How is it possible that a man as evil, old, and criminal as I am, who committed so many sins, even taking the lives of others, was so loved by him? Why me? Who am I?” Sono wondered aloud in a recent interview with ACI Prensa, CNA’s Spanish-language news partner.“I have to accept God’s mercy, even if it’s hard for me to do. I’m stubborn, I fight with him like a son does with his father.

Reading 1 Genesis 3:9-24 The LORD God called to Adam and asked him, "Where are you?" He answered, "I heard you in the garden; but I was afraid, because I was naked, so I hid myself." Then he asked, "Who told you that you were naked? You have eaten, then, from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat!" The man replied, "The woman whom you put here with me— she gave me fruit from the tree, and so I ate it." The LORD God then asked the woman, "Why did you do such a thing?"
