Dear Parishioners,
One of the most famous parables Jesus told his listeners, people like you and me, was about the return of the Prodigal son (Luke 15:1-3, 11-32). The far gaze of God seems to reach all the way to the end of the road where we one day come limping over the horizon. And yes, to be sure the far gaze of God sees you and me at the end of the road. God is waiting for us.
The only condition is that we take the first step toward him. So come to know yourself and where life's journey has taken you. Make your way home. God, our father, is looking down that road waiting for you.
