LITURGY OF THE WORD

Joshua 5:9a, 10-12 The people celebrate the first Passover

In the Promised Land

Psalm 34 “Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.”

2 Corinthians 5:17-21 Jesus reconciles us to His Father

Luke 15: 1-3, 11-32 Forgiveness and reconciliation are

reasons for celebration

A new day has dawned in each reading today. The Israelites

have finally reached the Promised Land and can celebrate

the Passover in their new home. Saint Paul tells us that in

Christ, we are a new creation. The prodigal son is welcomed

home as someone who had been dead and is now alive

again. As we listen to the readings today, let us imagine we

are there as each new day dawns.
