Series on Fire Within by Fr. Thomas Dubay, S.M. (Part 2 of 8)

But as it goes on, you’ll notice that it becomes more and more the Lord’s work and less and less contingent on our human work.

The Prodigal Son (Lent 2024)
Would you receive the Father’s unconditional love if you were the prodigal son? The Father wants us to convert from a conditional, perfectionistic way of experiencing God to a place of just being unconditionally loved by Him. But we can sometimes hold onto shame for security.
