The Rosary in a Year – Day 28 – Be Joyful, Be Free

Do you fully believe in the forgiveness of sins professed in the Creed? Fr. Mark-Mary tells us that so often we receive forgiveness but continue to carry the internal burden of sin. Drawing from the parable of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15, Fr. Mark-Mary encourages us to recall that we have been freed from sin. In praying the Rosary, we can set down our burdens as the Father accepts us into his home. Today’s focus is “The forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen,” and we will be praying one Our Father, three Hail Marys, and one Glory Be.

4th Week of Lent – The Prodigal You – Will You Return to Him?

The story of the prodigal son is a picture of God’s deep love for us as His beloved children. God, the compassionate Father, longs for you to return to Him and welcome you home with outstretched arms.

This week, we place ourselves in the shoes of the prodigal son and search in our hearts where we need compassion from the Father. No matter what mistakes you’ve made in the past, now is the time to return and allow God’s infinite mercy and forgiveness to embrace you.

God wants to give you more. How will you respond this Lent?


The Bible in a Year – Day 318 – The Narrow Gate, Lost Sheep, and Prodigal Son 

Fr. Mike confronts the hard truth Jesus preaches in today’s readings: Many people will ultimately choose hell over heaven. While this can be deeply distressing, Fr. Mike reminds us to focus on Jesus’s directive to each one of us: “[You] Strive to enter through the narrow gate.” In the second part of today’s commentary, Fr. Mike reflects on two of Jesus’ most well-known parables: the parable of the Lost Sheep and the parable of the Prodigal Son. Today’s readings are Luke 13-16 and Proverbs 26:10-12.
