Today's verse is Luke 15:17-20 with Jennifer Slattery.
When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
"Through this story, Jesus revealed in a vivid way how he responds to our most egregious rebellion and our most scandalous acts. He endured the public humiliation of the cross and took our sin and shame upon himself to free us from both."
