#parableoftheprodigalson

Today, the second Sunday of Triodion, we remember the parable told by our Lord about the Prodigal Son. After a son asked for his inheritance from his father, he left for a far away land, living in surplus and iniquity, only to find that after he had spent all his inheritance, there was a great famine in the land. He was left with nothing and ended up living with the swine, eating their food with them. He then remembered his father and went back to his house, begging to be received as a lowly servant. But his father was waiting for the son with arms open wide, putting on a banquet with the best and fatted calf and made a great celebration. The father said that his son was dead, but is alive again; he was lost, but now is found. This parable is read to encourage us that no matter how far away from God we’ve gone in the past year, He is waiting with arms open wide for us in order to journey with Him and carry His Cross to Golgotha and then to the Resurrection. May we all be brought to repentance and return to our Father's house + #sunday #prodigalson #repent #repentance #father #son #prodigal #iniquity #inheritance #God #resurrection #parable #lostandfound #deadandalive #celebration #parableoftheprodigalson #orthodox #sophia https://www.instagram.com/p/BuP7n9PlAsA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ydpq1vpdyxcv

The father unexpectedly and happily welcomes him back as he runs to him and embraces him as a son and celebrates his return. The other side of the parable is focused on the older son who is angry with his father and refuses to participate in the celebration because he thought the father was unfair. The father reminds the elder son that one day he will inherit all the father's belongings and that it is right to celebrate because the younger brother was lost and is now found.
