I shall get up and go to my father and I shall say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you." (Lk 15:18)

The story of the prodigal son is the story of each one of us when we choose, foolishly, to cast away the home we have with God for a cold and hungry exile. Let us never hesitate to return and confess our sins, for we will always find the prodigal's welcome from a Father who loves us more than we can ever imagine."

Join with us in prayer today as we remember the unborn, for the healing of all those affected by abortion, in reparation for all sins against the sanctity of human life and for the conversion of our society - to return to the Merciful Father.
