BIBLE STUDY—Return for Session 20 the week of April 4: Messianic Fulfillment—Part 2.

THE RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL SON BY HJM NOUWEN Frere Pierre Marie, the founder of the Fraternity of Jerusalem, a community of monks living in the city, reflects on Jesus as the prodigal son in a very poetic and biblical way. He writes:

He, who is born not from human stock, or human desire or human will, but from God himself, one day took to himself everything that was under his footstool and he left with his inheritance, his title of Son, and the whole ransom price.

He left for a far country... the faraway land… where he became as human beings are and emptied himself. His own people did not accept him and his first bed was a bed of straw! Like a root in arid ground, he grew up before us, he was despised, the lowest of men, before whom one covers his face.

Very soon, he came to know exile, hostility, loneliness… After having given away everything in a life of bounty, his worth, his peace, his light, his truth, his life…all the treasures of knowledge and wisdom and the hidden mystery kept secret for endless ages;

After having lost himself among the lost children of the house of Israel, spending his time with the sick (and not with the well-to-do), with the sinners (and not with the just), and even with the prostitutes to whom he promised entrance into the Kingdom of his Father;

After having been treated as a glutton and a drunkard, as a friend of tax collectors and sinners, as a Sa-maritan, a possessed, a blasphemer; after having offered everything, even his body and his blood;

After having felt deeply in himself sadness, anguish, and a troubled soul; after having gone to the bottom of despair, with which he voluntarily dressed himself as being abandoned by his Father far away from the source of living water, he cried out from the cross on which he was nailed: "I am thirsty."

He was laid to rest in the dust and the shadow of death. And there, on the third day, he rose up from the depths of hell to where he had descended; burdened with the crimes of us all, he bore our sins, our sor-rows he carried.

Standing straight, he cried out: "Yes, I am ascending to my Father, and your Father, to my God, and your God." And he re-ascended to heaven.

Then in the silence, looking at his Son and all his children, since his Son had become all in all, the Father said to his servants, "Quick! Bring out the best robe and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet; let us eat and celebrate! Because my children who, as you know, were dead have returned to life; they were lost and have been found again! My prodigal Son has brought them all back."

They all began to have a feast dressed in their long robes, washed white in the blood of the Lamb.

Is Your Marriage Breaking Your Heart?

If you’re separated or divorced—or thinking about it—call Retrouvaille to give yourselves another chance. You and your relationship deserve it!

The next local program in the Orlando Diocese is April 15-17, 2016, at San Pedro Center

in Winter Park. Let us reserve a place for you! For more information or registration call (352) 274-4614. All calls are strictly confidential.

If you know a couple in a hurting marriage, give the entire family the priceless gift of love this Easter season. Retrouvaille welcomes all married couples in struggling relationships who want to save their marriages. We also invite you to visit our website at retrouvaille.org.

What is a Retrouvaille Program?

The word Retrouvaille™ (pronounced retro-VIE or retro-VAY) is a French word meaning “rediscovery.” The Retrouvaille program offers tools needed to rediscover a loving marriage relationship. Thousands of couples headed for cold, unloving relationships or divorce have successfully overcome their marriage problems by attending the program.

The Retrouvaille Program consists of a weekend experience combined with a series of 6-12 post-weekend sessions over three months. It provides the tools to help put your marriage in order again. The main emphasis of the program is on communication in marriage between husband and wife. It will give you the opportunity to rediscover each other and examine your lives together in a new and positive way.

What the Program is not.

It is not a retreat, marriage counseling, or a sensitivity group. There are neither group dynamics nor group discussions on the weekend. It is not a time for hurting; it is a time for healing.
