Lisa Lickona, assistant professor of systematic theology at St. Bernard’s School of Theology and Ministry, offers a reflection for the Fourth Sunday of Lent. In it, she shares how the parable of the prodigal son contained in this week’s Gospel reading sheds light on the enormity of God’s love for us.
