Oh, merciful and generous God, I have an invitation in today’s Gospel to

open my heart to the saving grace of Christ, the sole Redeemer of humankind. Give me the grace today to recognize the merciful heart of Jesus to return to Him, knowing He is the Good Shepherd looking to offer forgiveness and mercy to all who come to Him to repent for their sins committed. He gives me the time I need to show my sincere desire to return to Him with all my heart, contrite and desiring His mercy and grace, and to be welcomed into His open arms to accept me back through His compassionate forgiveness. I ask this through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.
