Episode 290 – The Father’s Banquet
Have you ever struggled to receive love that you feel you don’t deserve?
As the Lenten journey through the Prodigal Son continues, the friars turn to one of the most striking moments in the parable, the Father’s banquet. What should be a moment of pure joy is, for the son, also deeply uncomfortable. After everything he’s done, he’s not just welcomed back, he was celebrated.
In this episode, the friars reflect on the tension between shame and mercy. What does it feel like to be fully seen, fully known, and still fully loved? Why can receiving God’s love sometimes feel harder than earning it? And how do we begin to live as sons and daughters again after we’ve fallen?
Join us as we enter into the mystery of the Father’s banquet, and discover a love that doesn’t just forgive, but restores, celebrates, and calls us back to life.
