A SUNDAY FOR REJOICING

Todays Gospel story of the prodigal son is a favorite
of many. We can identify with all the major figures and
their crisscross of emotions. The fathers initial grief over
his young sons avarice is turned to relief at his return.
The sons grief over his loss of fortune, family, and
friends is turned to delirious joy at the sight of his father.
We understand the eldest sons bewilderment over his
fathers generosity. For the older son,
virtue seems not to be its own reward.
For all his honorable toil and loyalty,
there seems to be no celebration. The
father, however, is prodigal in his
forgiveness and mercy. He expects the
same generosity from his older son. He
wants all to rejoice when the lost one is
found.
This is a Sunday for rejoicing. Its time to pause,
consider, and encourage one another. We are the prodigal
children heading home. We are the elder siblings waiting
with the eager Father, who scans the horizon. In Christ
Jesus we are reconciled to the Father and one another. In
his death and resurrection we have passed over. We are a
new creation. In this we rejoice. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
Whoever is in Christ is a new creation:
the old things have passed away;
behold, new things have come. 2 Corinthians 5:17
