The Return of the Prodigal Son (1773) by Pompeo Batoni
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed..." (Christ in Luke 4:18)

Read:
James 5:14-15
Psalm 33
Mark 2:1-12
Luke 15:11-32

Study:
1) Handouts:
Confession to a Human Being; Continual Conversion and Penance; Reconciliation; Indulgences; Anointing of the Sick; The Christian Meaning of Suffering; Viaticum

2) 3MC:
44 – What is Confession?
45 – What is Anointing of the Sick?

3) CCC 164-165, 618, 1127-1128, 1420-1525 (YOUCAT 224 - 247)

Meditate:
Why is confession so important? When I confess my sins, who am I being reconciled to, and why is this so important? What is necessary to make a good confession? What is perfect and imperfect contrition? When should I go to confession and how often? Even though it is not required, why is it beneficial to confess venial sins? When should I call on the priest for the Anointing of the Sick or Viaticum? How do both the Sacraments of Healing show God's Justice and His Mercy?

Pray:
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.

Imitate:
St. Pio of Pietrelcina

Apply:
Do I or am I prepared to confess all mortal sins in the Sacrament of Reconciliation? Do I examine my conscience often, even daily? Am I willing to make amends and do penance for my sins? Do I unite my sufferings with Christ's sufferings? Do I have compassion for those who suffer? Am I willing forgive as I have been forgiven?

    AUTHOR:
    Caleb Payne

    Caleb began his journey with Christ in 1997. He worked as a Protestant missionary for 8 years in China. It was soon after that he was challenged to consider the Catholic Church. After much prayer and study, he realized he had nothing to protest anymore and was received into full communion with Christ and His Church at the Easter Vigil Mass of 2011. For him the joy and peace that comes with receiving Christ in the Eucharist has turned into an insatiable desire to lead others to this same banquet. Caleb is first a husband, a father of three, and works in the Cortland area as a Registered Nurse. Caleb is a member of the Lay Fraternities of St. Dominic, the Angelic Warfare Confraternity, the Confraternity of the Most Holy Rosary, and is an Evangelist for Saint Paul Street Evangelization. He has Certifications in Thomistic/Catholic Philosophy, Catholic Theology, and Catholic Apologetics through the New Saint Thomas Institute. He is also currently in the Formation for Ministry Program of the Syracuse Diocese.
