Loving Father, who created us in an overflow of love, we thank you for being always ready to receive us, regardless of our offenses. Let us never forget your generous heart, that we would never fear to turn to you and seek your forgiveness and love, through Christ our Savior, who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit in perfect joy, world without end. Amen.
‘”I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me like one of your hired hands.”‘ So he set off and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him.’ – Luke 15:19-20
