Luke 15

Let all who fall and look to the Father in penitence have faith in His readiness and eagerness to forgive and trust in His power to restore. Let each recognise his own frailty ever more clearly, fully seeing and understanding that his progress lies in Our saving, sanctifying love. Our will and Our purpose is for his growth and progress in the way through faithfulness and loving trust and service to the Father and His Kingdom.

And let all look with compassion and with love at the failings and foibles of others. Let each pray for the strengthening of others in the way. To pray for others in their weakness is to love them into progress in the way. Those who carp and criticise at the faults and failures of their friends and neighbours compound their weakness and reveal their own.

As the Father forgives each penitent so must his children identify with His forgiving love both in themselves and in the lives of others.
