HOMELIES DE L'ANNEE C #lumière

The father, in the parable of this Fourth Sunday of Lent, exults with joy at the return of his lost son (15:24). This is the same attitude displayed by the shepherd who goes in search of a single lost sheep, leaving the other 99 (15:6) and by the woman who found the coin in her house (15:9).

Our history is strewn with pitfalls that rob us of our happiness. Happiness is a light that attracts the gaze of every being. It is the meaning of our struggles for survival. Let us commit ourselves today to the desert with Christ to overcome temptation, the assurance of our Easter.
