  Luke 15:17-22

  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.
