Episode Details

Sunday Mass. 9.27.26.

This homily reflects on the Gospel parable of the two sons, contrasting the son who initially refuses his father's will but later repents with the one who agrees in words but not in action. It explores how outward religious observance can mask an unchanged heart, and connects this to God's boundless mercy available through confession. Drawing on the first reading, it also considers God's justice in response to the Israelites' complaints, closing with an invitation to self-reflection: which son do we resemble in our own lives?
