Theme for The Fourth Sunday in Lent

God delights in showing mercy to all who are repentant. His greatest joy is having sinners return to him.

Hymn #571

The father said to his servants, "This my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found."

Almighty God, our heavenly Father, Your mercies are new every morning; and though we deserve only punishment, You receive us as Your children and provide for all our needs of body and soul. Grant that we may heartily acknowledge Your merciful goodness, give thanks for all Your benefits, and serve You in willing obedience; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
