Fourth Sunday in Lent (Contemporary)

Rev. Joe Dewey reflects on the parable of the prodigal son, illustrating how our disordered appetites lead to spiritual emptiness. He contrasts the consuming hunger of vampires with the Christian feast on Christ, which makes us more fully human. True satisfaction is not found in the world’s fleeting pleasures but at the Father’s table, where mercy gives us “bread enough” and grace welcomes us as beloved children.
