God’s Mercy Requires Repentance: Lessons from the Prodigal Son – Mar 07 – Homily – Fr Bernard
Views 27
Fr. Bernard M. Salter gives the homily Saturday of the Second Week of Lent (Mar 07, 2026) on the parable of the Prodigal Son, emphasizing that God’s mercy is received through a process of repentance: examination of conscience, recognition of sin, confession, and conversion.
Father also highlights the role of humility and the maternal intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who helps bring sinners back to the Father and urges us to pray for the conversion of souls.
Recorded at Our Lady's Chapel, New Bedford, Massachusetts.
