This Week’s Gospel Message

Thursday, March 24th, 2022

This week’s Gospel message for Sunday, March 27th is from Luke 15:1-3, 11-32.

“‘My son, you are here with me always; everything I have is yours. But now we must celebrate and rejoice, because your brother was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.’”

“Mercy is not easy to accept when we feel it is applied unjustly. Just ask the older son in today’s Gospel. He had done everything right. Always obedient, always serving his father, he was the dutiful son. He should be the one rewarded. The one son revealed himself to be self-centered by deciding to squander his inheritance on dissolute living. But the other son revealed himself to be shallow, doing the right thing so he would be rewarded. Both needed mercy but only one’s need for it was obvious. We pray we can recognize and accept our own need for it.” SOURCE: Pastoral Patterns, Spring 2022
