Peter struggled to accept the light of the divine in him, and Judas couldn’t make the shift. But the beloved disciple traveled through his human experience into new life and new consciousness. All are parts of us.

We might identify with the black sheep prodigal son or the resentful elder brother, but each of us is called to be the father.

Ever felt overworked and underappreciated? Ever thought someone else was getting what you deserved? If you’re exhausted and resentful — and have a right to be! -- the Elder Brother is alive in you.

Not everyone squanders a fortune on wine, women, and song, but most of us forsake our divine home at some point. We end up slopping pigs in a faraway land.

This week is Mardi Gras and Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. Are you planning to give something up? How about something that’s hurting you anyway?
