Illustration:
I WOULD LIKE TO TELL you a story.
It’s about a young man who ruined his life.
He left home, traveled abroad, and wasted his fortune on shallow pursuits and empty pleasures.
Eventually he came to the end of his rope: he was out of money, out of food, out of help, and out of hope.
This profligate is better known as the prodigal son in Jesus’ famous parable.

What do we do when we’ve made a mess of things?
Where do we go when we’ve blown it badly?
To what do we turn when we’ve embittered our child with harsh words, when we’ve betrayed our spouse with sheer stupidity, when we’ve alienated a colleague or a classmate with a series of me-first choices, when we’ve driven a wedge between friends or sown discord among congregants?
Where do we go when we’ve been insensitive, thoughtless, or downright obnoxious?
How do we respond when we’ve drifted away from the faith, compromised the gospel, or turned our back on God?
