The Pillsbury commercial begins with a young woman waiting for a train. She closes her eyes and clicks her heels three times. The scene flashes to warm croissant rolls rising. When she opens her eyes, she's home. The door is open and her family is at the table eating. Her mother rushes over, embraces her and welcomes her in. The words, "Home is calling," appear on the screen.

The pastor asks us to introduce ourselves. A woman explains that her family is living in a shelter and that they are looking for a home. A parishioner asks, "Will the shelter staff help you find housing?" The woman responds, "I meant that we're looking for a spiritual home." The words, "Home is calling," flash through my mind.

No matter what our circumstance, a voice is calling us home. Only God can fulfill our deep longing to be embraced and welcomed in.
