And having spent all things, a powerful famine was in that country; and he began to be in want. And having gone, he was joined to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into the fields to feed swine. And he eagerly desired to fill his belly with the fruits of the horntree which the swine ate: and none gave to him. And having come to himself, he said, Many hired of my father abound in loaves, and I am perishing with hunger! Having risen, I will go to my father, and say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, And I am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired. And having risen, he came to his father. And yet being far off, his father saw him, and felt compassion, and having run, fell upon his neck, and kissed him. And the son said to him, Father, I sinned against heaven, and before thee, and I am no more worthy to be called thy son.

For this my son was dead, and has returned to life; and he was lost, and found. And they began to be gladdened. And his elder son was in the field: and coming, as he drew near the house, he heard a concert of music, and dances. And having called one of his servants, he inquired what these may be. And he said to him, That thy brother has come, and thy father has sacrificed the fatted calf; because he received him in good health. And he was angry and would not go in; then his father having come out, besought him. And he having answered said to the father, Behold, so many years I serve thee, and never at any time passed by thy command: and never hast thou given me a kid, that I might be gladdened with my friends. And when this thy son, devouring thy property with harlots, came, thou hast sacrificed for him the fattened calf. And he said to him, Child, thou art always with me, and all mine are thine. And to be gladdened, and to rejoice, was fitting: for this thy brother was dead, and has returned to life; and he was lost, and found.
And flee youthful, eager desires: and follow justice, faith, love, peace, with them calling upon the Lord from a pure heart.
