"You are always with me, and all I have is yours." (Luk 15,31)

"I think about what happens in the story of the prodigal son, how the father leaves the party to the son who stayed behind and pleads with him to come to the party. It reminds me that God finds me when I feel like I don’t belong. From my spot in the shadows I’m reminded that if God is throwing a party everyone is invited: The prodigal. The brother who stayed behind. The servants. The neighbours. The beggars. Tax collectors. Prostitutes. Fishermen. The rich. The poor. No one is left out. Everyone is invited. Everyone belongs."
