Finding the Lost

Luke's chapter 15 presents three parables about finding the lost:  the lost sheep, the lost coin and the prodigal son. God's compassion comes clearly to us through the images of the shepherd leaving his 99 sheep, searching out and locating the one lost sheep; the woman turning the house upside down to find her coin; the powerful, lavish love and mercy of the father for his youngest son.  So many of our "Millennials" and people in general today seem lost as they have no roots in Faith and have drifted from the Church and God himself, that we wonder if they will ever find their way back.  However, the picture of the God who searches and finds the lost brings assurance that HE will do his best to bring them home.  Let us offer him our gifts and talents to help him in this quest.
