    THE PRODIGAL SON (LUKE 15:11-32)
    The word prodigal may be defined as “rashly or wastefully
    extravagant”.

     There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said
    to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he
    divided his property between them.
     Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had,
    set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth
    in wild living. After he had spent everything, there was a
    severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in
    need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that
    country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. He longed
    to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating,
    but no one gave him anything.
     When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my
    father's hired men have food to spare, and here I am
    starving to death! I will set out and go back to my father
    and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and
    against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son;
    make me like one of your hired men.' So he got up and
    went to his father.
     But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him
    and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his
    son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
     The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against
    heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be
    called your son.'
     But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best
    robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and
    sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it.
    Let's have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was
    dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So
    they began to celebrate.

     Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he


    came near the house, he heard music and dancing. So he
    called one of the servants and asked him what was going
    on. 'Your brother has come,' he replied, 'and your father
    has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe
    and sound.'
     The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So
    his father went out and pleaded with him. But he
    answered his father, 'Look! All these years I've been
    slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you
    never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate
    with my friends. But when this son of yours who has
    squandered your property with prostitutes comes home,
    you kill the fattened calf for him!
     “My son,' the father said, 'you are always with me, and
    everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and
    be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is
    alive again; he was lost and is found”.
