4th Sunday in Lent

Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32

Rejoice
let the trumpets sound in the heavens
Rejoice
at the return of the one lost
don’t ask at the why
or where
for this one was gone
lost in the gods of this world
sucked down
and running all the way
on his own
until by the gift of God
the bottom was seen
the momentum was stopped
and the face turned
Rejoice
not at what has been
but what will be
for the one who was lost
has been snatched from the jaws of death
by the God of love
Rejoice
