Response to the Psalm: I will leave this place and go to my Father Gospel Acclamation: Alleluia, alleluia! May the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ enlighten the eyes of our mind, so that we can see what hope his call holds for us. Alleluia!
WORD OF THE WEEK (Salford Office for Liturgy) “THERE WILL BE REJOICING IN HEAVEN OVER ONE REPENTANT SINNER” The message of God's forgiveness is one that we are familiar with, but which the Lord still wishes to emphasise. Our human approach to forgiveness is so often flawed we hold grudges, erect barriers, make demands and establish conditions. Jesus reminds his listeners and us that God's forgiveness is overflowing and bountiful. Saint Paul was well aware of this: he had persecuted the Church, calling himself the greatest of sinners ; and yet, thanks to the inexhaustible patience of God, he can count himself a believer. We must be open to the gift of forgiveness for ourselves, and also (as the Parable of the Elder Brother shows) open to that forgiveness offered to others whom we would condemn.
