Prayer
Dear Lord,
Grant me courage
to speak the truth
when it is needed
and to keep silent
when my words
would harm another.
Amen
4th Sunday in Lent Year C
" Father, I have sinned against heaven and before
you." Luke 15:18
Reflections by Father Paul Beukes OMI
On this Fourth Sunday of Lent, we are called to return home. This call is echoed deeply in the voice of the prodigal son who upon coming to his senses, said to himself: “I will arise and go to my father” (Luke 15:18).
The hunger of the prodigal son reflects that deep longing in us which no earthly food can satisfy, that hunger for which St. Augustine writes: “Our Hearts are restless until they rest in God.”
