1 Fourth week of lent Parable of the Prodigal Son (page 217) Saint Maron Maronite Church March 4, 2018 The third parable of Luke 15 is a more elaborate treatment of the seeking-of-sinners theme. The parable's popular title "prodigal son" probably puts the focus in the wrong place. Actually, the story gives more attention to the father and his reaction than to the son's return. The father's response to the elder son's resentment also shows how central a character he is in the parable. So, a better title might be "the parable of the forgiving father" or "the parable of a father's response to his two sons." The parable is unique to Luke and is almost allegorical. The father pictures God. The prodigal symbolizes the lost, especially the tax collectors and sinners of verse 1. The elder brother represents the self-righteous leadership, the Pharisees and scribes of verse 1 or anyone else who claims to serve God and yet is harsh toward the possibility of forgiveness for sinners. Because of the basic nature of parent-child relationships, as well as sibling rivalry, the story has a human poignancy that makes it one of the most touching of all of Jesus' parables. The major issue is repentance before God and God's willingness to forgive. The parable is Jesus' final defense of the offer of good news in the face of official criticism of his association with sinners. The parable opens with the younger son's request to have his share of the estate. Since the boy is still single, he is probably in his late teens. The Greek term for the inheritance is suggestive, "the life" (ton bion). He wants his portion of what his father's life will leave him. In a Jewish context the younger brother would receive half of what his elder brother received (Deut 21:17). In Jewish thinking a father should not divide the estate too early. Sirach 33:19-23 begins, "To son or wife, to brother or friend, give no power over yourself while you live; and give not your goods to another so as to ask for them again." Nevertheless, in this parable the father grants the son's request. It pictures God letting a sinner go his own way. Having divided the living or the property (NIV) between the two sons, the father watches the younger son depart. On his own, the son loses everything in wild living. Finding a job, he ends up feeding swine, a job of great dishonor for a Jew. (Lev 11:7; Deut 14:8; Is 65:4; 66:17; 1 Maccabees 1:47; Jeremias 1972:129). Though employed, he still suffers. He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating. These pods were either sweet beans from a carob or locust tree or else bitter berries. No one has anything to offer him. Even unclean animals are better off than he is. Here is the lostness of the sinner. The son reflects on his condition and realizes that his father's servants have it far better. Thus, the sinner discovers his desperate situation because of sin. To be outside of God's family is to be utterly alone. So, the son comes home. The parable has two major points. First, repentance means an absolute reversal of status. The lost son has become a family member again. The father's acceptance of the penitent son is total. This is God's grace. This is why God pursues sinners. Second, others should have joy when the penitent returns. Reconciliation involves not only God and the individual but also the individual and the community. Rev.

Brothers and sisters, Examine yourselves to see whether you are living in faith. Test yourselves. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you? unless, of course, you fail the test. I hope you will discover that we have not failed. But we pray to God that you may not do evil, not that we may appear to have passed the test but that you may do what is right, even though we may seem to have failed. For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth. For we rejoice when we are weak but you are strong. What we pray for is your improvement. I am writing this while I am away, so that when I come I may not have to be severe in virtue of the authority that the Lord has given me to build up and not to tear down. Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice. Mend your ways, encourage one another, agree with one another, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the holy ones greet you. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. Praise be to God always! إنجيل القد يس لوقا 15:11-32 From the Holy Gospel according to Saint Luke قال الرب ي سو : " ان ل ر ج ل ٱب ن ان. ف قال أ ص غ ر ه م ا أل ب يه: ي ا أ بي أ ع ط ن ي ح ص ت ي م ن الم ير اث. ف ق س م ل ه م ا ث ر و ت ه. و ب ع د أ ي ام ق ل يل ة ج م ع اٱلب ن األ ص غ ر ل ح ص ت ه وس اف ر إ لى ب ل د ب ع يد. و ه ن اك ب د د م ال ه في ح ي اة الط ي ش. و ل م ا أ ن ف ق ل ش يء ح د ث ت في ل ك الب ل د م ج اع ة ش د يد ة ف ب د أ ي ح س ب الع و ز. ف ذ ه ب و ل ج أ إ لى و اح د م ن أ ه ل ل ك الب ل د ف أ ر س ل ه إ لى ح ق ول ه ل ي ر ع ى الخ ن از ير. و ان ي ش ت هي أ ن ي م أل ج و ف ه م ن الخ ر وب ال ذي ان ت الخ ن از ير ت أ ل ه و ال ي ع ط يه م ن ه أ ح د. ف ر ج ع إ لى ن ف س ه و ق ال: م م ن األ ج ر اء ع ن د أ بي ي ف ض ل الخ ب ز ع ن ه م و أ نا هه ن ا أ ه ل ك ج وع ا! أ ق وم و أ م ضي إ لى أ بي و أ ق ول ل ه : ي ا أ ب ي خ ط ئ ت إ لى الس م اء و أ م ام ك. و ال أ س ت ح ق ب ع د أ ن أ د ع ى ل ك ٱب ن ا. ف ٱج ع ل ن ي أ ح د أ ج ر ائ ك! ف ق ام و ج اء إ لى أ ب يه. وف يم ا ان ال ي ز ال ب ع يد ا ر آه أ ب وه ف ت ح ن ن ع ل ي ه و أ س ر ف أ ل ق ى ب ن ف سه ع لى ع ن ق ه و ق ب ل ه ط و يال. ف قال ل ه ٱب ن ه : ي ا أ بي خ ط ئ ت إ لى الس م اء و أ م ام ك. و ال أ س ت ح ق ب ع د أ ن أ د ع ى ل ك ٱب ن ا... ف قال األ ب ل ع بيد ه : أ س ر ع وا و أ خ ر ج وا الح ل ة الف اخ ر ة و أ ل ب س وه وٱج ع ل وا في ي د ه خ ات م ا وفي ر ج ل يه ح ذ اء و أ ت وا ب الع ج ل الم س م ن وٱ ب ح وه و ل ن أ ل و ن ت ن ع م! أل ن ٱب ن ي هذ ا ان م ي ت ا ف ع اش و ائ ع ا ف و ج د. و ب د أ وا ي ت ن ع م ون. و ان ٱب ن ه األ ب ر في الح ق ل. ف ل م ا ج اء وٱق ت ر ب م ن الب ي ت س م ع غ ن اء و ر ق ص ا. ف د عا و اح د ا م ن الغ ل م ان و س أ ل ه : م ا ع س ى أ ن ي ك ون هذ ا ف قال ل ه : ج اء أ خ وك ف ذ ب ح أ ب وك الع ج ل الم س م ن أل ن ه ل ق ي ه س ال م ا. ف غ ض ب و ل م ي ر د أ ن ي د خ ل. ف خ ر ج أ ب وه ي ت و س ل إ ل ي ه. ف أ ج اب وق ال أل ب يه: ه ا أ نا أ خ د م ك ل هذ ه الس ن ين و ل م أ خ ال ف ل ك ي و م ا أ م ر ا و ل م ت ع ط ن ي م رة ج د ي ا أل ت ن ع م م ع أ ص د ق ائ ي. ولك ن ل م ا ج اء ٱب ن ك هذ ا ال ذي أ ل ث ر و ت ك م ع الز و ان ي ب ح ت ل ه الع ج ل الم س م ن! ف قال ل ه أ ب وه: ي ا و ل د ي أ ن ت م ع ي في ل ح ين و ل م ا ه و ل ي ه و ل ك. ولك ن ان ي ن ب غ ي أ ن ن ت ن ع م و ن ف ر ح أل ن أ خ اك هذ ا ان م ي ت ا ف ع اش و ائ ع ا ف و ج د..«حقا واألمان لج ميع ك م THE Lord Jesus says: A man had two sons, and the younger son said to his father, Father, give me the share of your estate that should come to me. So the father divided the property between them. After a few days, the younger son collected all his belongings and set off to a distant country where he squandered his inheritance on a life of dissipation. When he had freely spent everything, a severe famine struck that country, and he found himself in dire need. So he hired himself out to one of the local citizens who sent him to his farm to tend the swine. And he longed to eat his fill of the pods on which the swine fed, but nobody gave him any. Coming to his senses he thought, How many of my father s hired workers have more than enough food to eat, but here am I, dying from hunger. I shall get up and go to my father and I shall say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I no longer deserve to be called your son; treat me as you would treat one of your hired workers. So he got up and went back to his father. While he was still a long way off, his father caught sight of him, and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, embraced him and kissed him. His son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you; I no longer deserve to be called your son. But his father ordered his servants, Quickly bring the finest robe and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Take the fattened calf and slaughter it. Then let us celebrate with a feast, because this son of mine was dead, and has come to life again; he was lost, and has been found. Then the celebration began. Now the older son had been out in the field and, on his way back, as he neared the house, he heard the sound of music and dancing. He called one of the servants and asked what this might mean. The servant said to him, Your brother has returned and your father has slaughtered the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound. He became angry, and when he refused to enter the house, his father came out and pleaded with him. He said to his father in reply, Look, all these years I served you and not once did I disobey your orders; yet you never gave me even a young goat to feast on with my friends. But when your son returns who swallowed up your property with prostitutes, for him you slaughter the fattened calf. He said to him, My son, you are here with me always; everything I have is yours. But now we must celebrate and rejoice, because your brother was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found. This is the truth! Peace be with you.
