June 16, 2021. Gospel Luke 15:1-10.

Gospel Luke 15:1-10 “15:1. Now the publicans and sinners drew near unto him to hear him. 15:2. And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying: This man receiveth sinners and eateth with them. 15:3. And he spoke to them this parable, saying: 15:4. What man of you that hath an hundred sheep, and if he shall lose one of them, doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after that which was lost, until he find it? 15:5. And when he hath found it, lay it upon his shoulders, rejoicing? 15:6. And coming home, call together his friends and neighbours, saying to them: Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost? 15:7. I say to you that even so there shall be joy in heaven upon one sinner that” “that doth penance, more than upon ninety-nine just who need not penance. 15:8. Or what woman having ten groats, if she lose one groat, doth not light a candle and sweep the house and seek diligently until she find it? 15:9. And when she hath found it, call together her friends and neighbours, saying: Rejoice with me, because I have found the groat which I had lost. 15:10. So I say to you, there shall be joy before the angels of God upon one sinner doing penance. Before the angels. . .By this it is plain that the spirits in heaven have a concern for us below, and a joy at our repentance and consequently a knowledge of it.
