Today's gospel is the Prodigal Son. The father welcomes his son back after living a life of dissipation on the land. To ask forgiveness is what the younger son did. The father celebrated with the sons. Jesus celebrates with us when we return to Him. Let us always ask for forgiveness from one another.
