This Sunday’s readings (Ex 32, 7-11.13-14;1 Tim 1, 12-17; Lk 15, 1-32) bring us face to face with the human condition: we are vulnerable to sin, and we have in fact sinned.
Sometimes we stumble and fall, stray foolishly like the sheep, get lost in the seduction of others like the coin, or stubbornly rebel like the sons. The constant invitation for us is to rise, and go back to the Father - whose gaze is compassionate, not condescending, whose arms embrace, not strike, whose love gives life and restores our lost sense of self and dignity.

God does not count our faults - if he did, who could survive (Ps 130:3)? Our God is a God of genlteness and compassion, slow to anger and abounding in mercy (Ex 34: 6). Cliche as it may be, but what matters is we rise whenever we fall. And God offers us a hand.
