9/11/16: 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time: The Strange Parables of Jesus (a.k.a. The Delightful Foolishness of God)

In today's Gospel we hear three parables that are most strange: A shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to search for the one, a woman who turns her house upside-down for the sake of a penny, a father who welcomes his son who had disowned him. God is not like us! He is the one who searches out and seeks the lost--especially those most unlikely to be the recipient of his mercy.
