Luke 15: 11-32 "Gracious and exuberant God"
A prayer, in the form of a collect, based on a bible reading for today.
A collect based on Luke 15: 11-32
God, who welcomes home the lost with great rejoicing,
Your graciousness to others does not negate your love for us.
When we struggle to accept your exuberant forgiveness of others,
Help us see that grace and justice only make sense within your embrace.
Amen.
I hope you find the prayer a useful way to reflect and respond to this very well known parable. You’ll have noticed that the artwork today is not Rembrandt! (as might have been expected when dealing with the Prodigal Son). Instead this portrayal is by Vicky Shuck, a Native American artist. Discover her work HERE.
With peace and best wishes, Steve
