Pursuing the way of abandonment of the prodigal son in sin is the father who is prodigal of love. It is through this divine attraction that for every person, every wrong way can be transformed into an itinerary of return and embrace. The Abrahamic pilgrimage , instead, is the paradigm of the history of salvation itself in conformity with which the faithful live. By faith he arrived, as a foreigner , in the promised land, and lived there as if in a strange country, with Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. It was from the land of the pharaohs that the great Exodic pilgrimage would ensue.
Exodus acquires a permanent value.
The final aim is in fact the promised land of full communion with God in a renewed creation.
