Lent 4

Luke 15.1-3,11b-32

Context

This fourth Sunday of Lent is also Mothering Sunday and we examine a well-known biblical family story – in which a mother does not feature!

Common thread – Overwhelming love (Luke 15.1-3,11b-32)

Through the family story of the prodigal son we discover the generosity of God’s love, a love which is so abundant that it never ends, no matter what we do. What do mothers teach us about our prodigal God?

An alternative thread for adults, Tale with a twist, is also based on Luke 15.1-3,11b-32.

These resources were first published in Issue 46 March/April 2010.
