Jesus Welcomes Sinners
\n<\/strong>Joshua 5:9-12
\nPsalm 32
\n2 Corinthians 5:16-21
\nLuke 15:1-3, 11b-32<\/p>\n

But while he [the prodigal son] was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arm around him and kissed him. [The father said,] \u201cThis son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!\u201d
\n-Luke 15:20, 24<\/p>\n

Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven,
\nwhose sin is covered.
\n-Psalm 32:1<\/p>\n

Prayer
\n<\/strong>O God, we are both the prodigal son and the elder brother. Save us from despair and from pride. Through your love and grace in Christ, turn us around so that we may prepare a feast of hope and opportunity for those who live in hunger. Amen<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Action
\n<\/strong>As part of your Lenten journey, go to see \u2013 by yourself or with a group from your church \u2013 the new documentary, \u201cA Place at the Table.\u201d This powerful new film follows three families in Colorado, Pennsylvania, and Mississippi who struggle to get enough to eat.
