Father Benjamin observed that most often our sins takes us far away from God just like the prodigal son, however, when we retrace our steps and sincerely seek for atonement and the forgiveness of God, he is ever ready and faithful in giving us a second chance.

“In his moment of truth, the prodigal son realized his mistakes, came back to his senses and returned for forgiveness. God is always ready for us whenever we realize our sinful state and return to him”, Fr. Benjamin urged.
