Share the Thought by Msgr. Andro

The Filipino words "natauhan" and "nagsisisi" are two different concepts. Even in Greek "eis heauton elthon" is not synonymous with "metanoeo." Yes, "coming back to his senses" does not mean "feels sorry." The prodigal son was not repentant about his transgression. He just realized he had to return to his father in order to survive. When we lack that deep sorrow for our sins, we can be as prodigal as the younger son.
