A large crowd of people followed Jesus, including many women who mourned and lamented him. Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep instead for yourselves and for your children for indeed, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed.’ At that time people will say to the mountains, ‘Fall upon us!’

and to the hills, ‘Cover us!’ for if these things are done when the wood is green what will happen when it is dry?” Now two others, both criminals, were led away with him to be executed.

One day you will have to answer for your actions and God will not be so merciful then.

The line in the story that struck me the most was

“His son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you; I no longer deserve to be called your son.’ But his father ordered his servants, ‘Quickly bring the finest robe and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Take the fattened calf and slaughter it. Then let us celebrate with a feast, because this son of mine was dead, and has come to life again; he was lost, and has been found.’”

The lesson I learned from that parable was that no matter how far away we try to go from our father, once we come back he will still accept us. Our father is very forgiving and cares so much about us. Sometimes we tend to forget about him and move away from him. But once we unite with him after some time, he will always accept us back with open arms. As long as we ask for forgiveness sincerely.

# data[].attributes.body
My son, you are here with me always; everything I have is yours.

But now we must celebrate and rejoice, because your brother was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.’”

Do not be greedy and ask for money. You have to work hard for money. Then, if you have enough money spend it wisely. Don't use it for your bad habits. Our parents are always there for us even though they don't show it. They are always ready to forgive us and welcome us to our original homes.

I relate the most with the eldest son because I'm also the eldest. I always like to do my tasks just like him working in the field.

# data[].attributes.body
“‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”

To stray away from the path of righteousness, only to later come back to it, gives God immeasurable joy. For is it better to be born good? Or to overcome your evil through sheer force?

I identify with the younger son; I have done many wrongs, and the road to God's kingdom is treacherous, but, better to start later than never.

Sometimes I feel like the fig tree.  God, through the people around me, is working on me all the time and spending so much to give me what I need, but it takes me awhile to bear fruit. :(

Still, thank you Lord for your patience with me.  Thank you for always giving me time to learn and bear fruit. Help me to be as patient with myself and others, as you are. Teach me to appreciate the gift of time instead of rushing toward my dreams.

"There once was a person who had a fig tree planted in his orchard, and when he came in search of fruit on it but found none, he

should it exhaust the soil?'

I'd like to think that I am listening to God's Son, but I must admit I can often confuse Jesus's voice with my own desires.  I can get distracted and justify my decisions as "guided by God".

I pray for faithfulness. I pray for an open heart that allows me to really hear Jesus. I pray for more focus during prayer time so that I can really hear what Jesus is telling me.
