Responsive Scripture: Luke 15:11-24, The Parable of the Lost Son
11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons.
12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of
the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.
13 “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.
14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that
whole country, and he began to be in need.
15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who
sent him to his fields to feed pigs.
16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were
eating, but no one gave him anything.
17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s
hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death!
18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I
have sinned against heaven and against you.
19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of
your hired servants.’
20 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.
21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and
against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22 “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.
23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate.
24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is
found.’ So they began to celebrate.
