THE PRODIGAL SON

Mon, Apr 21, 2025

“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.” – Luke 15:23-24

 

I am a prodigal son returning

from that distant country – that big

empty realm of meaninglessness.

I am an errant son, wasting my life

and inheritance.

 

I am a prodigal son returning

from that distant country – that realm

of false infinities.

I am an errant son, reduced to penury 

and humiliated.

 

I am a prodigal son returning

from that distant country – that domain

of sins and hopelessness.

I am an errant son, repentant

and asking for forgiveness.

 

Invite me Lord to the festive banquet

You prepare for prodigal sons returning.

Embrace me in your love, resurrect me

from my spiritual death and restore

my inheritance in your kingdom.
