There might be a time in your life when you wander far from God. If you do, remember the story of the prodigal son. God will always welcome you home.

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?
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.
