Niệm Tin Mừng Thứ Bẩy Sau Tuần 2 Mùa Chay
Qua Bài dụ ngôn hôm nay, Chúa Giêsu cho chúng ta biết về sự tha thứ của Thiên Chúa, như Người cha nhân từ mong mỏi chờ đợi người con hư đốn trở về.. Thiên Chúa như người cha già đã vui mừng khi thấy ngưòi con đã trở về từ đằng xa. Khi người con đến, ông đã tha thứ cho anh ta mà không một có lời trách cứ. Đó là cách mà Thiên Chúa đã tha thứ cho chúng ta.
Sự trở về của người con hoang đàng không phải là sự kết thúc của câu chuyện. Còn người anh trai nữa, Anh đã thực sự không hài lòng khi biết rằng người em của mình đã trở về và được người cha tiếp đón tiệc đãi linh đình. Người Anh này đại diện cho những người Pharisêu tự mãn, những người chỉ muốn thấy những tội nhân phải được tiêu diệt hơn là tha thứ và được cứu rỗi. Thái độ của anh ta cho thấy rằng những năm anh ta đã vâng phục cha mình, là những năm anh làm nhiệm vụ của mình trong sự khắc nghiệt chứ không phải là sự phục vụ trong yêu thương. Thái độ của anh ta là một trong những thái độ thiếu sự thông cảm hoàn toàn, khi anh ta từ chối người Cha đến với bữa tiệc mừng người em trở về.
Tiên tri Micah đã viết về tình yêu trung tín của Thiên Chúa và chúng ta không thể đứng trước mặt Thiên Chúa mà nói rằng chúng ta công chính; Thiên Chúa mới là Đấng từ bi và nhân hậu.
Lạy Chúa, cho chúng con thấy được tình yêu trung tín của Chúa và xin thương xót chúng con mãi mãi.
Saturday 2nd
week of Lent
Today’s Gospel should never have been called the parable of the Prodigal Son, for the son is not the hero. It should be called the parable of the Loving Father, for it tells us rather about a father’s love than a son’s sin.
It tells us much about the forgiveness of God. The father must have been waiting and watching for the son to come home, for he saw him a long way off. When he came, he forgave him with no recriminations. There is a way of forgiving, when forgiveness is conferred as a favour, but that is not the forgiveness which Jesus speaks about. The Prodigal’s return is not the end of the story. There enters the elder brother who was actually sorry that his brother had come home. He stands for the self-righteous Pharisees who would rather see a sinner destroyed than saved. His attitude shows that his years of obedience to his father had been years of grim duty and not of loving service. His attitude is one of utter lack of sympathy, but the Father includes him in the feast.
Saturday of the Second Week of Lent
“A man had two sons, and the younger son said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of your estate that should come to me.’ So the father divided the property between them. After a few days, the younger son collected all his belongings and set off to a distant country where he squandered his inheritance on a life of dissipation. Luke 15:11–13
Why did the father in this parable give his wayward son his inheritance? Very few parents would do such a thing. Essentially, the son treated his father as if he were dead. He showed no interest in remaining part of the family, nor did he care about his father’s potential need for him in old age. The son’s only desire was to take the money, leave for a distant land, and live a sinful life, severing his relationship with his father. So why did the father agree to the son’s premature demand for his inheritance?
The father’s extreme generosity represents God’s deep respect for our free will. This parable was addressed to the scribes and Pharisees, who constantly sought to manipulate and intimidate God’s people into submission. But God doesn’t work that way. He allows us the freedom to sin because, without that freedom, we would be unable to love Him authentically.
The symbolism in this parable is clear: the son represents all who reject God, treat Him as though He were dead, abuse the natural and worldly gifts they’ve been given, and stray deeply into sin—symbolized by the “distant country.” When God’s children reject Him and use their free will to sin, He permits them to experience the consequences of their choices. They soon discover that a life of sin away from Him quickly turns chaotic. While sin might provide temporary satisfaction, it inevitably leads to spiritual hunger and destitution.
It was the responsibility of the religious leaders to treat God’s people with the same respect that the father in this story showed his son. This remains the responsibility of every parent, Church leader, and person in authority today. First and foremost, we must respect the free will of others. Authentic conversion and worship cannot come from intimidation or manipulation. Yet, the scribes and Pharisees, through their self-righteousness and condescension, interfered with this essential quality of faith and worship.
Even worse was their attitude toward those who had gone astray. They were indignant that Jesus welcomed tax collectors and sinners. But that was precisely why He came—to invite sinners to repentance. And repent they did. The scribes and Pharisees, however, were too self-absorbed to even consider extending forgiveness to those they deemed unworthy.
When someone you love sins against you, how do you respond? Do you allow the one you love the freedom to make choices, continuing to love that person even in his or her rejection of you? The scribes and Pharisees couldn’t stomach such mercy. But to God, it is a profound act of respect for human freedom, allowing each person to experience the consequences of his or her decisions. And when a sinner begins to suffer those consequences, do you think to yourself, “I told you so”? Or does your heart fill with compassion, making it easy for the sinner to return to God and to you?
Reflect today on your attitude toward sinners. We are all sinners, and none of us has the right to judge, intimidate, or condemn others. Mercy—abundant mercy—is essential if we are to become like the father of the prodigal son. Only mercy that fully respects others, longs for their conversion, and forgives even before being asked can effectively change hearts. Contemplate the heart of our loving Father in Heaven and strive to imitate His holy virtues.
Most merciful God, You have given me the freedom to love You or reject You, to obey Your perfect Law or follow my own will. When I sin, help me endure the consequences, so that in my humiliation, I may recall Your abundant mercy and turn back to You with all my heart. Grant me, too, a heart like Yours for every sinner, that I may be a beacon of Your care for them. Jesus, I trust in You.
Saturday of the Second Week of Lent 2026
Opening Prayer: Lord God, you are my merciful Father, always ready to embrace me when I return home. Comfort me in your arms and wipe my tears away. Do not let me forget how good it is to be in your house.
1. The Title of the Parable: The traditional title of the parable, “The Parable of the Prodigal Son,” tends to focus our attention on the sins and repentance of the younger son. And who of us this Lent doesn’t need to hear that lesson and repent and go to the Sacrament of Reconciliation? Unfortunately, this focus can make us miss other important lessons about the older son. In fact, Jesus addresses the parable not just to the tax collectors and public sinners drawing near to him but also and primarily to the Pharisees and scribes who complain about Jesus welcoming sinners and eating meals with them. Eating a meal in this context symbolizes entering into a covenant relationship and familial relationship with Jesus. In the parable, then, Jesus is like the father who welcomes back his wayward son. The tax collectors and sinners are like the prodigal son who returns to the father’s house and confesses his sin. The Pharisees and scribes are like the older son, who remained in the father’s house but refused to welcome back his brother.
Saturday of the Second Week of Lent
“Look, all these years I served you and not once did I disobey your orders; yet you never gave me even a young goat to feast on with my friends. But when your son returns who swallowed up your property with prostitutes, for him you slaughter the fattened calf.” Luke 15:22–24
This was the reaction of the faithful son in the Parable of the Prodigal Son. Recall that after squandering his inheritance, the Prodigal Son returns home humiliated and poor, asking his father if he will take him back and treat him as if he were a hired hand. But the father surprises him and throws a huge party for the son to celebrate his return. But the father’s other son, the one who remained with him throughout the years, would not join in the celebration.
Was it fair that the father killed the fatted calf and threw this large party to celebrate his wayward son’s return? Was it fair that that same father apparently never even gave his faithful son a young goat to feast on with his friends? The right answer is that this is the wrong question. It’s easy for us to live in such a way that we always want things to be “fair.” And when we perceive that another receives more than us, we can get angry and bitter. But asking whether or not this is fair is not the right question. When it comes to the mercy of God, God’s generosity and goodness far exceed what is perceived as fair. And if we are to share in the abundant mercy of God, we too must learn to rejoice in His superabundant mercy.
In this story, the act of mercy given to his wayward son was exactly what that son needed. He needed to know that no matter what he had done in the past, his father loved him and rejoiced in his return. Therefore, this son needed an abundance of mercy partly to reassure him of his father’s love. He needed this extra consolation so as to become convinced that he made the right choice in returning.
The other son, the one who had remained faithful throughout the years, was not treated unfairly. Rather, his discontent came from the fact that he himself lacked the same abundant mercy present in the heart of his father. He failed to love his brother to the same extent and, therefore, failed to see the need to offer this consolation to his brother as a way of helping him understand he was forgiven and welcomed back. Mercy is very demanding and far exceeds what we may at first perceive as rational and just. But if we desire to receive mercy in abundance, we must be ready and willing to offer it to those who need it the most.
Reflect, today, upon how merciful and generous you are willing to be, especially toward those who do not appear to deserve it. Remind yourself that the life of grace is not about being fair; it’s about being generous to a shocking extent. Commit yourself to this depth of generosity toward all and look for ways that you can console another’s heart with the mercy of God. If you do, that generous love will also bless your heart in abundance.
My most generous Lord, You are compassionate beyond what I can fathom. Your mercy and goodness far exceed what any of us deserve. Help me to be eternally grateful for Your goodness and help me to offer that same depth of mercy to those in most need. Jesus, I trust in You.

Saturday 2nd week of Lent
Opening Prayer: Father, help me to see you more clearly through your Son’s words. Help me to know you the way he knows you—as the Father who loves me more than I can imagine and who always does everything you can to call me back to you when I have strayed.
1. Let Me Tell You about My Father: Jesus would like to show us how much the Father loves us, but he doesn’t have many good examples to draw from. There were many great, virtuous men in Israelite history, but they all had flaws. None would do as an example of the Father’s love because of their shortcomings. How could he make us understand, give us at least a glimmer of the Father’s love? In the end, he invented a father in this parable–a parable we often call “The Prodigal Son” because we identify more with the younger son–but which many theologians and Scripture scholars call “The Father of Mercies” because it is the father in the parable who is the real hero.
REFLECTION
If ever we feel distant from God, we should seek the company of children. For it is in our dealings with them that we can see ourselves clearly through God's eyes. As parents, elders or teachers, we constantly warn them to be careful. Often, we see our advice unheeded for the flimsiest reasons or out of plain stubbornness. We end up more hurt than they are because their disobedience wounds our hearts. And yet, despite this happening time and again, our love for them still grows daily. We rush to them because we feel that they are part of us. That is exactly why the father in the parable runs with joy to his repentant son even when he is still a long way off. That is how and why God loves us.
REFLECTION
Like the father of the prodigal son, God does not dwell on our past waywardness. He knows all your sins and weaknesses, but as you open your mouth to confess them, He stops you. He rejoices when you come back to His embrace. He has already removed your transgressions as far as the east is from the west. Lent is the moment for us to stop, sit down, and try to reflect on our own present situations as sinners. Truly, sin has dragged us down to our lowest dignity and placed us into a most embarrassing position.
The good news, however, is that should we at any time find ourselves burdened by our sins, we may go back to our Father and He will always run to meet us and rejoice that we have found our way back to Him. Like the Pharisees and scribes, the older brother, in his self- righteousness, has forgotten to rejoice when a sinner returns to God. Bitterness and resentment keep him from forgiving his younger brother.

- Thứ Bẩy Tuần 2 Mùa Chay
- Như người Pharisiêu và các thầy thông giáo, người anh tự cho mình là người sống trong sự ngay chính, nên đã không mấy vui mừng khi thấy một tội nhân trở về với Thiên Chúa. Lòng tị hiềm, oán giận, ghen tương, giận dữ, ích kỷ đã biến người anh ra nhỏ nhen, không còn bác ái để tha thứ cho em mình. Hôm nay, chúng ta hãy tự xét mình, tự hỏi chính mình xem đã bao lần chúng ta đã ngạo mạn giống như ngưòi anh trong bài dụ ngôn hôm nay, cố chấp, ghen tương, nhỏ mọn?. Xin Chúa giúp chúng ta có can đảm, thêm lòng bác ái để từ bỏ cái tôi của chúng ta, đế biết đối xử với nhau một cách rộng lượng và nhân từ hơn.
