Sunday March 26
Read: God removed the shame of his chosen people in the past. In the present, He continues to remove the sinfulness of His people and recreate them in Christ. Jesus teaches us through the parable of the prodigal son how God removes our shame and invites us into celebrate life with Him.
Reflect: Do you truly recognize your shame and confess your sinfulness so that God can take it away and create you anew? How do you respond when you find greatly sinful people freely forgiven and admitted to the presence of God? Do you let God reconcile you with Him and others?
Pray: Ask God for the grace of true contrition for sins and generosity of the heart to rejoice in the good fortune of others.
Listen: As you return from the road (younger son) or from the field (elder son), how does the Father receive you and what is he telling you?
Act: In this week, do an honest review of your life and make a good confession (sacrament of reconciliation).
