The Way of Forgiveness
Today, we see that The Way of the Cross is also The Way of Forgiveness—not only receiving God’s mercy but learning to extend it to others. The parable of the prodigal son teaches us about forgiveness from three perspectives: the one who needs it, the one who struggles to give it, and the Father who offers it freely.

The two sons (Lk. 15:1–3,11b–32)
Whether we’re rebellious or whether we’re prideful, God has enough grace to come out and invite us into his kingdom. He comes out to us in our baptism, through his body and blood, and by his Word.
