Lent Through the Parable of the Prodigal Son

Lent Through the Parable of the Prodigal Son

Parish Lenten Mission:
Lent through the Parable of the Prodigal Son

Presented by Deacon Benedict LoCasto

It has been said that if all the Bibles in the world and all the words of God suddenly disappeared, and if only one piece of Scripture remained, The Parable of the Prodigal Son, this parable would be enough of the Gospel to guide Christians in the Way of Christ.

Lent is a time for introspection and correction

Please join us to more deeply explore the meaning of Lent by reflecting on the Parable of the Lost Son, the Jealous Older Brother, and the Merciful Father.

The Mission will be streamed on
Sunday, February 21st,
7-8 PM

Padre Pio’s Devotional Joy Leads Us to the Christmas Open House

*Padre Pio and the Humble Mystery of the Incarnation* For Padre Pio, the heart of December was never noise or celebration—it was wonder. He was profoundly moved by the mystery of the Incarnation, the moment when God chose to enter the world in the smallest and simplest of forms. The humility of the Christ Child touched him deeply. Witnesses often noted that even the mention of the Infant Jesus brought a tenderness to his face and a quiet reverence to his voice. Though Padre Pio did not write extensively about the liturgical days leading up to Christmas, th...
