‘My Lord, I am so frequently asked the question, ‘How do we come back to you when we have lived as your prodigal children?’’

Our Lord replies, “My dear child, in the parable that I taught on the prodigal son, it was my greatest desire to share a message of my Father’s loving mercy for his children and that he is always waiting with open arms of eternal love to receive them.

And I am always waiting to receive sinners in calling all of my children, all souls, to my mercy, to always forgive and love them, to grant them my compassion and my kindness. And to say, ‘Here I am my child. Run no further away, but run to me, run into my arms that I may redeem and love you.’

So many of my children live in loneliness and fear and isolation. For they choose not to humble themselves and open their hearts to me in prayer, in asking me to help them, in asking me to grant them the joy of my love, the joy that I have in receiving them that we both may rejoice together.

Yes, I am always waiting for my children and that is why I am calling all souls to turn their hearts back to God.

Yes, listen to my heart, my child, and I thank you. For in the example of the prodigal son, I give only my heart to all who desire to receive me.”

‘My Lord, forgive me. Forgive me, this poor and weak sinner. Forgive me my pride and I ask you to help me each day to grow ever closer to you and to stand within the embrace of your arms and your love.’
