Featured Sunday Reflections
Rejoining Our Home
Fourth Sunday of Lent: We often cherish the wordly: wealth, pleasure and our egos. Like the children in the parable, we yearn after the possessions of our Father to the point of moving away from God. Yet in all situations God is coming towards us, awaiting our return back home, to the heavenly feast.
