GOD FORGIVES The Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have removed the reproach

of Egypt from you.” After forty years of wandering in the desert,

this hard-headed people have finally reached the Promised Land.

No more do they eat the manna in the desert, but they partake of

the fruits of their new homeland. God has kept the promise to

their parents in Egypt. Even though they were a sinful people,

many times questioning God and even worshiping false gods,

God has forgiven them and fulfilled the promise. The “take-away”

for us is that there is no sin that is unforgivable. We may have

offended our neighbors, given a bad example to someone, even

worshiped the false gods of money and power. But God is a

merciful God, true to the words spoken to us. God forgives all

and calls us back to love.

.Today, “Laetare Sunday,” breaks the somberness of Lent for a little rejoicing, and the readings all summon us to an awareness of reconciliation. One of the best-loved stories of our tradition is today’s Gospel story of the runaway son and the prodigal father. Prodigal, of course, is an adjective meaning “spendthrift or extravagant to a degree bordering on recklessness,” and although the boy maxes out the credit cards, it is really the father who is prodigal with forgiveness.

Part of the excitement of this Laetare Sunday is rooted in the ancient catechumenate. Long ago, midway through Lent, the “elect” were focusing more and more on the gift of reconciliation accomplished for them by Christ and about to be realized in the Easter sacraments they were preparing to celebrate. In some places, the elect were even bedecked with roses on this day. A person bedecked with roses sticks out in a crowd; a person formed by the Eucharist and committed to living a life of reconciliation does, too. That’s you! —James Field, Copyright © J. S.
