OUR PRODIGAL GOD
We keep having to relearn how prodigal God is. It is as if God cannot quite manage to say no. We think it is surely fine
when God is prodigal with us—rich in mercy and forgiveness, generous in grace. But what about the other—the enemy, the
sinner, the heretic, the outsider? Well, we expect God to be as stingy with that person as we are.
Moses and Joshua wanted such a cozy world, too. They wondered how the spirit of God could be given to the two who did
not show up at the meeting tent—today’s church. And the apostles in the Gospel complained because there were some miracle
workers who were clearly not followers of Jesus. God’s great free wheeling generosity confounded them all. Let this be, says
Jesus. Just see to it that you who lead continue to be worthy of your calling. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
At first glance, the situation of the penitents in the early church is shocking: isolated and
labeled, their journey back to fellowship at the Lord’s table seems arduous and even cruel.
However, at no time in the process were the penitents lacking the support of the community.
Penances were performed for all to see, and we can tell from the homilies of the day that
people earnestly desired to see the sinner benefit from the remedy. Tertullian reminded the
penitents that they were living among their brothers and sisters, fellow servants of the same
Lord, still in the embrace of the Spirit. He tells them that when they extend their hands in
blessing to the faithful, it is Christ they touch. He tells them that when they see tears in the
eyes of believers, it is Christ who is interceding for them with the Father.
There is a treasure of our tradition woven into this history: these people knew profoundly that the prayer of Christ’s body, the church, was the prayer of Christ himself. Prayer was
not merely support for a person down on his or her luck; it was effective and necessary. The
treasure we can see even through the tangles of history is this: the Spirit of God is poured out
on the church, and brings grace, forgives sin, makes us holy, and always calls us to fullness
of life.

Pope Francis Speaks to Families
From Pope Francis Speaks to Families, Words of Joy and Life. The WORD among us
THE IMPORTANCE OF CONFIRMATION
It is important to take care that our children, our young people, receive this sacrament (of Confirmation). We all take care that they are baptized, and this is good,
but perhaps we do not take so much care to ensure that they are confirmed.
Thus, they remain at a midpoint in their journey and do not receive the Holy Spirit, who is so important in the Christian life since he gives us the strength to go on.
Let us think a little, each one of us: do we truly care whether our children, our
young people, receive Confirmation? This is important; it is important! And if you
have children or adolescents at home who have not yet received it and are at the
age to do so, do everything possible to ensure that they complete their Christian
initiation and receive the power of the Holy Spirit. It is important!
