Finally, I saw my Father
And in his embrace
I found love once again.
Love refused to hear my litany of sins
Love refused my guilt trips
Love refused to hear I had made mistakes.
Love found me
Enfolded me
Held me.

It’s ok
To be lost
But even more to be found.
To hear once again
That life is for loving
That love defines it all.
That in the end it’s all that matters.
That love triumphs over all.
That love is the greatest force
In my life
In the world.

(Reflection on Luke 15: 11 – 32.)
