 [The inward journey] 11 Then Jesus said, “There was a man
who had two sons. 12 The younger of
them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of the property that
will belong to me.’ So he divided his property between them.
Saturday – 9:30
[Noise] 13 A few days later the younger son
gathered all he had and traveled to a distant country, and there he
squandered his property in dissolute living.
Saturday – 10:00
[Letting go] 14 When he had spent everything, a
severe famine took place throughout that country, and he began to be in
need.
Saturday – 10:30
[Hurts] 15 So he went and hired himself out
to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed
the pigs. 16 He would gladly have
filled himself with the pods that the pigs were eating; and no one gave
him anything.
Saturday – 11:00
[Distractions] 17 But when he came to himself he
said, 'How many of my father's hired hands have bread enough and to spare,
but here I am dying of hunger!
Saturday – 11:30
[Holy Space -
Eucharist] 18 I will get up
and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against
heaven and before you; 19 I am no
longer worthy to be called your son; treat me like one of your hired
hands.”’
Saturday – 1:30
[The outward journey
begins] 20 So he set off and
went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and
was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and
kissed him. 21 Then the son said to
him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer
worthy to be called your son.’
Saturday – 2:00
[Self] 22 But the father said to his
slaves, ‘Quickly, bring out a robe – the best one – and put it on him; put
a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 And get the fatted calf and kill
it, and let us eat and celebrate; 24
for this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is
found!’ And they began to celebrate.
Saturday – 2:30
[Planet] 25 “Now his elder son was in the
field; and when he came and approached the house, he heard music and
dancing. 26 He called one of the
slaves and asked what was going on. 27
He replied, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted
calf, because he has got him back safe and sound.’
Saturday – 3:00
[Others] 28 Then he became angry and refused
to go in. His father came out and began to plead with him.
Saturday – 3:30
[Impressions] 29 But he answered his father,
‘Listen! For all these years I have been working like a slave for you, and
I have never disobeyed your command; yet you have never given me even a
young goat so that I might celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours came
back, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the
fatted calf for him!’
Saturday – 4:00
[Reflections] 31 Then the father said to him,
‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and
rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and has come to life; he
was lost and has been found.’”
