God’s Mercy
On the Sunday of the Prodigal Son, we recall the reality of our daily reality. If you are anything like me, you find that during the previous day you walked away from God in some way. He let us run amuck and we are sorry for what we have done. The great news about God is, “It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:22-23 KJV). I go to confession about once a week. The priest inevitably says to me, “the Good news is that God loves us and there is nothing we can ever do to change this.” I always walk away convinced and refreshed by these simple words. He really does! He embraces us and it does not matter what we have done. Rejoice because God’s mercy endures forever! (Jeremiah 33:11 and Psalm 136)
Fr. Nathan Symeon
“All that is mine is yours.” The merciful Father welcomed the Prodigal Son and showed love to his brother when he questioned that profound love which gave all that was his to his children. Are you open to share that love of the Father by a vocation to the priesthood, diaconate, religious or monastic life? If so, contact the Vocations Office at 206-329-9219 or email: vocations@ephx.org
