The Gospel for today contains a very simple parable by Jesus. A man had two sons, and he asked them to go into the field. One said, "Yes sir", but didn't go. The other said "No", but changed his mind and went. Which did his father's will? The latter. In the same way, God continually offers us the invitation to follow him. No matter what we have done or how many times we have sinned in the past, God offers us life, eternal life. It's as simple as what we read in Deuteronomy: "Behold I set before you life and death. Choose life."
