Bishop Barron on the Prodigal Son

Ephesians 3:14-15: For this reason, I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named…

“If we wait until we’re perfect to receive, then it’s never going to happen. You can receive now because you are God’s child, dearly loved, redeemed, chosen, and cherished. You can receive not because of what you do but because of who you are in him.” “You’re Already Amazing: Embracing Who You Are, Becoming All God Created You to Be.” ~ Holley Gerth

Baby Steps:

Reflect on the Prodigal Son - where do you fit in?
Reflect on this quote from the Father: "All I have is yours." What is the "all" that you need from God?
Remember that You are the Jesus in your family gatherings :)
