Growing Faith at Home

     Taken from Growing Faith at Home 27th March 2022 Fourth Sunday in Lent (Grow Ministries).

The focus of this week’s Growing faith at home is Luke 15:1-3,11b-32 The story if the forgiving father sometimes known as the loving father or the prodigal son. You can watch an animated version of this story here.

As a household share about a time when someone forgave you how did you feel? 

How do you think the son felt when his father welcomed him back?

In what ways is God like the forgiving father?

A Prayer 

Heavenly Father, thank you for loving us and forgiving us. We rejoice because of you. Amen
