Easter: Day Seven, Divine Mercy Sunday, Second Sunday of Easter

In the story of the Prodigal Son, the son has a thought. "I can return to my father's house as a servant and live better than I am living now." He followed through on that thought and returned to his father's house. But he could have also gone the other way and decided he was too proud to live as a servant in his father's house so he would rather die than do that.

We are all prodigal sons and daughters. Everyone of us will have this thought about returning to our Father's house and we will act on it or not. God's call to us is a whisper of love. The world's call to us is the siren of the gods which caused the sailors to crash on the rocks. We often prefer the sirens to the whispers. The world is loud and are minds are busy with it. Take time to listen to the whisper and know God's great love for you!
God bless!!
