Suffering and Our Squandered Inheritance
A Homily on the Prodigal Son
In this Sunday's homily, Fr. Barnabas invites us to examine the familiar story of the Prodigal Son in a fresh way. The Orthodox Faith invites me to see the power of the Faith to transform suffering into a meaningful moment where one can be healed at the deepest level of one's soul. In our lesson today, he uses the two brothers to discover their common squandered inheritance.
