In today’s Gospel lesson (Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32) we hear the story of the Prodigal Son. I don’t know about you, but I think I can relate to the elder son. He followed the rules. He worked hard and was obedient.

But forgiveness is hard work, too. Like the Pharisees, we want to grumble and say, “This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

How dare he! How dare he welcome sinners…like me! How dare he share a meal with me!

How dare he choose to die for me!

Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.

Thanks be to God!
