SCRIPTURE INSIGHTS
Today’s readings reflect on the unconditional and
astonishing mercy of God. The conversation between God and
Moses is especially engaging. Who would blame God for being
angry and disappointed with the Israelites for their incredible acts
of brazen infidelity? Moses calls on God to remember the
covenant, and in response to the supplication of Moses, God
relents.
The mercy that Paul experiences is personal. He readily
confesses that his life as a “blasphemer and persecutor” is
deserving of punishment, but the grace of God “has been
abundant” and he has been “mercifully treated” by the Lord. Paul
believes that the love and patience of Christ that he has received
were intended to give encouragement to others, that they, too, will
receive mercy.
The fifteenth chapter of Luke’s Gospel account is the
familiar collection of the three parables of forgiveness. The
parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the memorable story
of the prodigal son are rich with meaning. Each reveals something
about the nature of God, and the circumstances in the stories
shape the lesson. For example, we know that neither the sheep nor
the coin was responsible for getting lost. The joy of the shepherd
and women is without condition and certainly without any blame
being assigned to the sheep or the coin. But the younger son
makes a deliberate and selfish choice. This makes it all the more
remarkable that even though the boy wasted his inheritance, his
father waits for him and celebrates his return. The response of the
older brother is different, and gives us a chance to reflect on times
we may have felt resentment towards sinners who receive mercy.
The closing lines of the parable should give all of us the courage
to seek the loving mercy of the Father, no matter how lost we
might feel in our spiritual journey. The embrace of the Father is
never withheld.
 Which one of the three parables gives you hope?
 When have you felt so lost that you doubted the love of God?
 How have you celebrated the mercy of the Father deep in your
heart?
