Pope Francis on the prodigal son parable: We presume ourselves of being just, and judging others. We even judge God, because we think that we should castigate sinners and condemn them to death instead of forgiving... If in our heart there isnt mercy, the joy of forgiving, we are not in communion with God, even if we observe all the precepts, because its love that saves us, not the bare practice of precepts. Its the love for God and neighbor that gives completion to all the commandments. And this is the love of God, his joy: forgiveness. It awaits us always! Maybe each of us has something we carry around in our heart: But I did this, I did that.... – He waits for you! Hes a father: he always waits for you! If we love according to the law an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, well never leave behind the spiral of evil.
