“We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.” Mother Teresa

Today is the 4

th

Sunday of Lent – have you told God you’re sorry and asked for forgiveness?

In today's Gospel, we hear the parable of the Prodigal Son. Prodigal means wasteful or careless; we hear how the younger son spent

all of his inheritance that his father had given him.

Listen closely to the Gospel to hear what happens to the Prodigal Son.

The father in the parable is an image for us of how much God wants to forgive us.

In our lives, we are sometimes like the younger son; we wander away from God. At other times, we might be like the older

son, jealous of the love and forgiveness that God shows to others. This story shows us the meaning of reconciliation. It

shows us how God forgives us and how God wants us to show mercy and forgiveness to one another.

During Lent, we remember this story and we ask to be reconciled with God and others, especially through the Sacrament

of Reconciliation.

Many Religious Ed & St. Gabriel School students have already received the sacrament of Reconciliation during class. If you’ve received first Reconciliation

but haven’t gone to confession yet this Lent, ask your parents or grandparents or godparents to take you and encourage them to receive the sacrament too!

Be sure to prepare before you go to confession – think and pray about the choices you’ve made and the things you are truly sorry for, know how to receive

the sacrament, and the Act of Contrition. Father will help you if you need help.

During Lent Father hears confessions on Mondays each week at St. Gabriel Church at 12 noon and at St. Joseph Church at 6:30 pm, and on Saturday April

6 & 13 at 4:30 pm at St. Joseph Church.
