From the Catholic Liturgy for Sunday, September 11, 2016. In
the Gospel of Luke 15:1-10, Jesus teaches us the value and importance of the
individual person to the heart of God. Like a sheep that goes astray or a
valuable coin gone missing, we often turn away from our relationship with God,
but He never gives up and comes after us. By turning back to Him (which is the
meaning of 'repentance') we bring joy to his heart and all heaven rejoices with
Him. By repentance we find a new way of thinking, a new way of living, a new
way of responding to life, a new way of relating to God and others.
