Reflection
from the desk of Fr. Terry
Through the parable of the
Prodigal Son, Jesus teaches us that God is a merciful Father who loves us, as
we are, along our strengths as well as our weaknesses. We would not always meet
success and are not exempted from tasting defeat, sorrow anguish,
disappointments, sickness and depression. We cannot escape misunderstanding,
rejection, enmity and irritation. But Jesus assures us that even in all of
these, his Father's love is strong enough to sustain us as he Himself
experienced. God accepts and loves us for what we are even before we approach
Him. God's love is constant. He loves us unconditionally, totally and without
reservation.
