Good morning, St. John’s students, faculty, and staff. Let us pause in our day to pray. The gospel today speaks about the joyful party in heaven that happens when we repent. We all make decisions that lead to being lost – choices that move us away from God, from Great Love. To think that God would come after us with such vigor – searching for us in the desert and among the cluttered home – is overwhelming.
(pause)
In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
My God, my God. You love me with such generosity and grace. When I turn away from your Love, when I am lost, I pray that you find me. That I return home to you. And, my God, I cannot wait for the party – for the life-giving joy – that will remind me how good it is to be close to You. Amen.
Thank you and have a glorious day.
