Journeying Home to the Father - 2021 Lenten Conference 2 - The Encounter

Conference 2: The Encounter - Reconciliation and Communion

After the younger son reaches the depths of his misery, he begins to think of what he can do to get out of a seemingly desperate situation. He comes up with a plan to return home, hoping that his father will take him back, if not a son then even a servant. We will focus on the actions and words of the father, especially at the moment of a deeply moving encounter between the father and the younger son, and explore the richness of the meaning this encounter may have for our own lives by virtue of our very own baptism. Perhaps this encounter is really what we desire for in our own lives?
