Micah, 7, 14-15. 18-20;
Psalm 102;
Lc. 15, 1-3.11-32
The parable is a hymn to the love of God not only expects but pursues the sinner to recover. It's a beautiful portrait of God's love.
Many times we have heard and thought this parable. Commonly we call the prodigal son, but I heard many times the father's merciful call. Because really the protagonist is not the son but the father. From what you tell Jesus is not son but the father, because what you want Jesus is telling us about God, our Father who loves us, we wait, we are looking for, we still always offering love, whatever the attitude or the answer we give you.
is true that in the parable we identify, because it is also a portrait of our sin and our infidelities. Worth to watch us our lives, but to look through the eyes of God. Because just looking at us with our eyes, our eyes, we would probably miserable and worthless. We could even sink further to see how little we are and the evil we do. But with God's eyes, eyes of the Father is different, because the sight of God will always be a loving gaze. A love that calls us, invites us to come to Him, gives us his embrace of love and forgiveness.
Some have said the child was really well because it was over to know the Father. It wants to raise his prostration and collapse, wants to return to his father's house, but does not dare to go as a child; 'me as one of your servants' , think to say. Has not finished to meet the father who is waiting, the father who is loving, a parent who is not going to reproach, but above have gifts for him a new suit, a ring and sandals, a fatted calf and a party. So the father, so is God.
The other son, who apparently was good and responsive, but that his heart was not resentful father knew, or had tried to be like him. So his complaints, his tantrum might say, its not wanting to go home and accept his brother. And there is the father begging, pleading, trying to understand the child everything is love. Have we finished we
to know God? Have we, at least a little, trying to be like him? The parable teaches us about God's love, his mercy and compassion. As mentioned in Psalm 'the Lord is gracious and merciful' . But lest we forget. It's more that we copy that compassion and mercy in our lives so that we never have suspicions against anyone, so you never first thing we look bad or that defects in the reasons we have to love him.
'What a God like you, who pardons sin and absolve the guilt the rest of your heritage? Do not keep anger forever, because it delights in mercy. Again have compassion and extinguish our sins, shed into the depths of the sea all our sins' . Beautiful text of the prophet Micah. And it is an Old Testament text. We often think that in the Old Testament only presents the image of a vengeful God or righteous. He is the God of love. Recall that patience has always been next to his people despite all the sins and infidelities. We
us also remember that we have had experience of being loved and forgiven. It is good to remember, relive. We help you learn to love God and more as well. We will help these new attitudes we have towards others.
course we will come closer to God from our sin by saying "Father I have sinned against heaven and against you '. Recognize, indeed, deserve nothing and do not deserve to be taken as children, but we also recognize all that is the love that the Lord will have to continue to consider her children even though we are sinners.
