Scripture Reflection 4th Sunday of Lent
March 10, 2013
The Gospel this weekend is a clear reminder that God's love is without end. The parable resonates with
us because in some ways we have each experienced the situation of every character in the story. There are
times that we have been the father; other times that we have acted like the elder son. And more often than not,
we have been the prodigal, seeking a way to return. One lesson to be learned is that not only are we often looking for a way back to God, but that others are as
well. Our journey makes us one.
