A Reflection from Marriage Matters (www.twoinoneflesh.org.uk) for this Sunday
Fourth Sunday of Lent (Joshua 5: 9-12; 2 Corinthians 5: 17-21; Luke 15: 1-3, 11-32)
The need for gratitude and trust
The Gospel illustrates the Father’s amazing forgiveness but the elder brother reacts angrily and is resentful and self-righteous. At times when we feel hurt and resentful and life seems unfair, and tensions rise, we can blame each other. Jesus’ message is to trust in our husband/wife, to look for their loving ways and to ask forgiveness for our own faults.
