Weekly Schedule

Grace and Peace, 

This Sunday is the 3rd Sunday of the Great Fast, “The Prodigal Son Sunday”.

The Liturgy Gospel will be from Luke 15:11-32. 

“I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you.” Luke 15:18

From the clever son (or the prodigal son) Parable, the Church teaches us that God rejoices with the angels for one sinner who repents.
