Holy Trinity Catholic Church
On this Laetare Sunday, Deacon Wes Turton invites us to pause at the midpoint of Lent and reflect: Has anything truly changed within us? Drawing from the Gospel of the Prodigal Son, he explores the deeper reality of forgiveness—not as a word but as an action that restores dignity and relationship. Through the powerful contrast of St. Paul’s radical conversion and the father’s lavish mercy, we are reminded that Lent is not simply a season of denial, but a call to reconciliation and renewal. True transformation, Wes insists, must go beyond temporary sacrifice—it must bear fruit that lasts well beyond Easter.
