fourth sunday of lent / 40 domingo de cuaresma 3
Dear Parishioners and Friends of Our Lady of Fatima,This Fourth Sunday of Lent the gospel reading is the parable of the Prodigal Son. The story has three characters: the repenting son, the prodigal father and the self justifying elder son.
The younger repenting son wanted his freedom from his father. He forced his father to give him his portion of his estate (see Deut. 21:17). He then left his family behind and set out on his own. He spent his inheritance on a libertine life. A famine came upon the land and the son lost all he possessed. He was forced to live as a hired servant. He came to his senses and returned home to beg mercy.
The father representing God the Father promptly gave his son his share of the property, bid him farewell and waited for his return. Finally the boy returned dressed in rags, confessed his sins, begged his father’s forgiveness and the father promptly forgave him.
The elder son represents the self-righteous Pharisees. The elder son had no feelings of compassion for his brother. He was the dutiful son but his heart was not in it. He was resentful, bitter and angry.
This is a story of God’s mercy and compassion for repentant sinners. At one time or another we are the repenting son or the self-justifying elder son. Yet God allows us to go our way but is eagerly awaiting our return and willing to showers his mercy upon us.
Este cuarto domingo de Cuaresma la lectura del Evangelio trata sobre la parábola del Hijo Pródigo. Esta historia tiene tres personajes: el hijo arrepentido, el padre misericordioso y el justo hijo mayor.El menor el hijo prodigo quería la libertad de su padre. Él forzó a su padre a darle su parte de la herencia (véase Deut. 21,17). Él entonces dejó a su familia y se fue de casa y malgastó su herencia en una vida de libertinaje. En aquel tiempo, llegó una hambruna a la tierra donde se encontraba y el hijo perdió todos lo que poseía. Fue forzado a vivir como un criado, entonces se dio cuenta de su error y volvió a casa a pedir misericordia.El padre que representa a Dios Padre rápidamente dio a su hijo su parte de la propiedad, bendiciéndole a su partida y esperando su regreso. Finalmente, el muchacho regresó vestido con ropa rota, confesó sus pecados, pido el perdón de su padre y el padre lo perdonó inmediatamente.El mayor de los hijos representa al fariseo autosuficiente. Este no tenía ninguna sensación de compasión por su hermano. Él era el hijo obediente, pero su corazón no estaba en él, se sentía resentido, amargado y enojado.Ésta es una historia que habla de la misericordia y de la compasión de Dios por los pecadores arrepentidos. En un tiempo o en otro, nosotros somos como el hijo arrepentido o el hijo mayor. Dios permite que tomemos el camino que queramos, pero está esperando ansioso con paciencia nuestro regreso, para bañarnos de su misericordia.
