The story of the Prodigal Son is featured in the Gospel today (Luke 15:1-3, 11-32). It’s the story of each human life: God's mercy stands on one side and the unfaithfulness of man on the other. "Father, I have sinned." Penance alone can save us. Our Father welcomes us with mercy. The sin and its eternal punishment are forgiven. The Father receives us again as His children and celebrates a joyful banquet with us at Holy Communion. The story of the Prodigal Son is an urgent call to repentance, self-examination, and conversion. Our God is prodigal. His very nature is to give, the God who simply is divine love. Ave Maria!

The invitation to conversion that the Church insists on this Lent is an incentive to return to God, embracing the merciful love of the Father and the Son. Converting means entrusting oneself fully to the Lord. Receiving the gift of accessing God's infinite goodness is divine grace. We cannot accomplish anything by ourselves. As St. Paul wrote (Phil 3: 12), "to convert is to let oneself be won over by Jesus and to return with him to the Father." Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York

Reparation can come in the form of penance and sacrifices. It is a ransom for our personal and collective sins, in imitation of the Lamb of God who gave his life on the Cross for us. Jesus Christ defeated death and sin through sacrifice and service to our fellow men. He emptied himself to restore the order of divine creation. Sins committed against the most sacred heart of Jesus can be repaired through intense prayer, penance, and charity, as we learn during Lent. Ave Maria!

In baptism, when we became members of the mystical body, we were marked with the seal of the cross. In the first luminous mystery of today, we signify that we are partakers of the Crucified. During this Lent, we learn by faith the virtue of the Cross. The remembrance of the Cross of Jesus is a very efficacious reflection against temptations. Jesus destroyed the works of the devil and cast out wickedness and sin by his death upon the Cross. We embrace the Cross as our way of salvation. Ave Maria!

Before the joy and glory of Easter, we have first to go through forty days of the Lent journey. It's a time to recover our real self and more real life, so we will be better prepared to share Christ's glory. Christ preached penance and prayer to enter the Church. Our world is drowning in sin and vice and it needs to confess its sins and obtain forgiveness. This is what happened to the Ninevites, as Jesus reminds us in the Gospel today (Lk 11:29-32). The people of Nineveh did penance at the preaching of Jonah the prophet and obtained divine mercy and pardon. An entire city — a New York of ancient times — repented. Nineveh is a model for Lent.
