Sunday of the Prodigal Son

This parable of God’s forgiveness calls us to “come to ourselves” as did the prodigal son.

To see ourselves as being “in a far country” far from the Father’s house, and to make the journey of return to God.

We are given every assurance by the Master that our heavenly Father will receive us with joy and gladness.

We must only “arise and go,” confessing our self-inflicted and sinful separation from that “home” where we truly belong.
