Exodus 32: 7-11, 13-14
Psalm 51: 3-4, 12-13, 17, 19
1 Timothy 1: 12-17
Luke 15: 1-32
The Gospel today contains 3 parables, 3 stories that Jesus told the religious leaders who were displeased with Jesus. They disapproved of his interactions with sinners... it might be okay to throw some food their way, but to actually sit down and eat WITH them would be simply unholy!
In each of these parables, the main actor is behaving, by our standards, imprudently or as going overboard in their quest for what we might dismiss as insignificant. In these stories we learn about the unlimited love and mercy of God, and to Divine Joy when we come back to ourselves, our senses.
- In what way is this message Good News for you?
- In what way is it a challenge to our own management of the mercy we offer others?
- Are our hearts ready to rejoice when those who are lost return and find warm welcome?
