Catholic - Homilies And Talks

In this homily for the 4th Sunday of Lent (Year C), Fr. Michael reflects on the well-known parable of the Prodigal Son—or rather, the story of a father and two sons. He explores how the parable speaks powerfully to the real spiritual struggles many people face today: the temptation to escape responsibility, the danger of doing good without love, and the deep call to imitate the generous, merciful heart of the Father. Whether young or old, all of us are invited to conform our hearts to the Father’s—to go beyond legalism and beyond escapism, into the joy of mercy and communion.
