Please read today’s Gospel Luke 15:1,-3, 11-32 the story of the Prodigal Son.
Dialogue: What are some of the things that strike you in this story of Jesus? Who are the heroes in this story? Why do you think he is a hero or good model? Do you think it was difficult for the Father to forgive his son? Why didn’t the older sin welcome his brother? Do you think he went into the celebration as his Father wanted?

Then embrace each member and say at least one of the following: “I love you.” “May God forgive you, and I forgive you.” Perhaps celebrate with special dessert, do something together as a family (walk through the neighborhood if it is safe look for signs of Spring, watching a movie on tv, a play family board or video game, etc.

St. Ann Knights of Columbus will display Saint Joseph pilgrim icon, blessed by the Holy Father, on the weekend of March 26 and 27.
The icon is traveling the United States.
St. Joseph offered his life in service and sacrifice to the Holy Family by following the will of God. As we gather to honor the Guardian of the Redeemer, let us ask God for that same trust and courage to embrace our own roles as guardians of the family and the truth.
