First Reading Mi 7: 14-15.18-20
The Prophet said, "O Lord, with thy staff pasture your people,
the flock of your inheritance. They are remote, inhabit the jungle in the middle of an orchard. Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead as in days of yore. Hold up to us the actions of magical, like when you came out of Egypt. Is there another God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression
carried out by the remains of his inheritance? Which is not angry forever but delight in the faithfulness? May He love us back, eliminate our mistakes and cast all our sins into the deep-sea bluff. That You would show your loyal to Jacob and Your love to Abraham, as you promised with an oath to our ancestors since time immemorial!
Such is the Word of God.
Psalm Ps 103: 1-2.3-4.9-10.11-12
The Lord is merciful and gracious.
* Praise the Lord, O my soul! Praise his holy name, all ye within me! Praise the Lord, O my soul, forget not all his benefits will!
* He who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases! He who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion!
* Not continuous His anger, and not forever She grudge.
He never treated us deserves our sins, or reward us deserves our fault.
* As high as the heavens from the earth, so great is God's mercy on those who fear Him! As far as the east is from the west, so our transgressions dumped him.

with the bean pods the pigs ate, but no one gave it to him. Then he came to himself, he said: 'How many hired men my father abundant food, but I'm here to starve to death. I will arise and go to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against Father; I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of thy hired servants. ' Then he got up and went to his father.
When he was away, his father saw him, and his heart was moved with compassion. The father ran to meet him and embraced and kissed him. The boy said to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against Father, I am no longer worthy to be called your son. But the father said to his servants, 'Hurry bring hither the best robe, and put the him; , put a ring on his finger, and shoes on his feet. And take the fattened calf, slaughter him, and let us eat and rejoice. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found. So they began making merry. But the eldest son was in the field.
When he got home and close to the house, he heard the sound of flutes and singing dances. Then he called one of the servants and asked him what the meaning of it all. The slave replied, 'Your brother has come,
and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he got the child back safely. ' So angry was the eldest child and he did not enter. Then his father came out and talked with him. But he answered his father, he said, 'For many years I serve the Father,
and I've never disobey the Father, but the Father gave me has never been any young goat to rejoice with my friends. But just coming Father's children who have squandered the wealth of the Father along with prostitutes,the Father that killed the fatted calf for him. '
Her father said to him, 'Son, thou art ever with me, and all mine is yours. We should celebrate and rejoice, because your brother was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found. "
