March 30, 2025: ”Home” with Sister Lynn Marie Ralph

Preaching for the Fourth Sunday of Lent, Sr. Lynn Marie Ralph, SBS, offers an imaginative and powerful retelling of the Parable of the Prodigal Son: "The prodigal daughter needed a complete makeover. She needed healing physically, emotionally, and spiritually. There are many women who need healing, especially from all types of abuse. The anxiety that builds up, sudden panic attacks, being alone and feeling as if love is lost. The prodigal daughter needed to be home with her mama."Sister Lynn Marie Ralph is a Sister of the Blessed Sacrament whose congregation was founded by Saint Katharine Drexel. She has been a member of the religious order for forty-two years. Currently Sister Lynn Marie is the Coordinator of Pastoral Care at Holy Redeemer Hospital in Meadowbrook, PA, where she has the opportunity to minister with a diverse group of ministers that include Jewish, Baptist, Christian, as well as Catholics.
