Exodus 32:7-11,13-14; 1 Timothy 1:12-17; Luke 15:1-32
"This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them."
Few texts in the scripture highlight the transformation the Gospel of Christ works in us with more poignancy than the parables Jesus tells the Pharisees and the scribes in today's reading. The parable of the lost sheep and the good shepherd who goes in search of the one that is lost in the wilderness and the parable of the women and the lost coin prepare us to hear the story of the prodigal son.
