Parables » Parables of Christ » Lost piece of silver
Or what woman having ten drachmas [140 cents], if she loses one drachma [14 cents], does not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek carefully till she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls her female friends and neighbors together, saying, Congratulate me, for I have found the drachma which I lost. So, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner that changes his mind.
