Неделя блуднаго (34-я)

(1 Cor. 6, 12–20; Luke 15, 11–32) Whatever the week of the Prodigal tells us! He speaks about our peace and contentment in the house of the Heavenly Father, and about our insane impulse from under the guardianship of the Father to unbridled freedom, and about the wealth of the inheritance appropriated to us, despite our disobedience, and about the reckless waste of it on all sorts of indecencies, and about our extreme impoverishment as a result. But then he also talks about how someone comes to his senses and, having come to his senses, plans and decides to return to the most merciful Father, how he returns, how he is lovingly accepted and restored to his first state. And who here will not find a useful lesson for themselves? Whether you are in your father’s house, don’t rush out to freedom. You see how such an experience ended! If you ran away and are wasting your time, stop quickly. If you have squandered everything and are in poverty, decide to return as soon as possible and return. All indulgence, old love and contentment await you there. The last step is the most necessary. But there is no need to expand on him. Everything is said briefly and clearly. Come to your senses, decide to return, get up and hurry to the Father. His arms are open and ready to receive you. You might be interested in:
