The church is a community of the lost who have been found. We are called in turn to be the messengers of good news to those who are still lost. Things and people who are lost have some value in and of themselves, but greater value because of the one to whom to they belong. Today’s Gospel reminds us of the value we have in God’s eyes, even when we have turned from him. We are also challenged not to let others be lost to us. youtu.be/dXUVB9mDXgo
