In this reading, it has the Parabole of the Prodigal Son. I like this story. It was a story of a father who had 2 sons. The younger son asked for half of the estate, so his father gave it to him. Then the son exchanged it for money, and took off somewhere and live a life full of sins. When he realized that what he was doing was getting him no where, and that no one would feed him where he was, and that even the hired men of his father got fed, he decided to go back and apologise to his father. He said "Father, I have sinned against God and against you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Let me be like one of your hired men". His father, immediatly took him in without a hesitation, and forgave him, and fed and clothed him. The other brother was upset that his father forgave his brother, because he obeyed his father all this time and his father never kill a calf for him n made merry... So the father said, "Child, you are always with me, and everything i have is yours. But it was proper to make merry and rejoice, for your brother was dead, and he has come back to life; he was lost, and is found."
I really like this story. Because its so much more important that the brother who was "lost" and who lived a life of sin, recognized his mistakes, and came back to his father and apologized. The other son was always with him, so im sure the father appriciated that and was glad of that, but when your son leaves and does all things things that he prolly shouldn't be doing, its probably the best feeling to a parent (who's forgiving, cuz not all are that forgiving lol) when they come back home, and are truely sorry for what they have done, and who want to live right again.
