Ps 27; Romans 14:7-12; Luke 15:1-10

Jesus and Mary guide us

The parables of the lost sheep and the housewife who has lost a coin. The shepherd and housewife want to retrieve their sheep and coin. They rejoice with friends and neighbours when they have found what they lost. Jesus likens their joy to that in heaven when a sinner repents. Do you know some who have drifted away from the faith? Are you anxious about them? Would they with encouragement return? How can we help them? Shall we ask Jesus and his wonderful mother, Mary to guide us?
