The Return of the Prodigal SonBeloved brethren! The Holy Church, the loving mother of all her children, who gave them birth unto salvation, and takes upon herself all care to ensure that her children not lose their inheritance—Heaven, preparing them for the successful completion of the forthcoming podvig of the Forty Days Fast, has ordained that we read today at the Divine Liturgy the parable of our Lord Jesus Christ about the prodigal son.

The Sunday of the Prodigal Son
He came to himself – what does this mean?The two things we must know to be saved.
Homily on the Prodigal Son
Now we see another aspect of repentance that is so important today, especially in light of what we are going to read and contemplate next week. That is, God receives a man’s repentance. This may seem to be an obvious statement, hardly worth making, but in actuality, many people do not really believe God will receive their repentance, or that they can truly change.

Journey with the Prodigal back to the father’s house
Today is the second of several pre-lenten commemorations, the Sunday of the Prodigal Son. The church points us to Jesus’ parable to remind us that we are all on a journey back to the father.

Instruction on the Sunday of the Prodigal Son. On Repentance
St. Ignatius (Brianchaninov)
According to the holy fathers, the younger son could also be an image of all fallen mankind and of every sinner. The younger son’s inheritance is God’s gifts, with which every person is endowed, especially Christians. The most supreme gifts of God are the mind and heart, and especially the grace of the Holy Spirit given to every Christian.
The Sunday of the Prodigal Son
The Sunday of the Prodigal Son
Archpriest Andrew Phillips
Perhaps we feel some sympathy with the elder son. After all, he never wasted his substance, he did remain loyal to the Father. The problem is that the elder son's service was a form of slavery, he did not stay with the Father out of love, but out of self-interest, in expectation of a reward. This was not love freely given, but an obligation fulfilled in the hope of the payment of the hireling.

The Prodigal Son
James Iliou
In the parable we are told and in our minds we think of the younger as being the Prodigal. But which one of these two brothers is truly the Prodigal Son? Is it the younger who leaves and comes back in repentance, or the older brother who refuses to welcome him back? I

Return from Exile (The Sunday of the Prodigal Son)
A man who has never had that experience, be it only very briefly, who has never felt that he is exiled from God and from real life, will never understand what Christianity is about.
The Sunday of the Prodigal Son
Homily on the Sunday of the Prodigal Son
Fr. Francis Rella
Of the four Sundays preceding Great Lent, none is more full of hope than that of the Sunday of the Prodigal Son. In the parable of the Prodigal Son, the two brothers are poised at the crossroads of their adulthood. It is the realization point for the younger and perhaps the older that there is something more out there besides hearth and home. It is the realization and dream of every young person when attaining maturity to be set free from parental bonds, no matter how loving.
The Sunday of the Prodigal Son
Walk away from the swine world
Fr. Jonathan Tobias
It’s no use to ask the Prodigal Son just how he ran away. He probably couldn’t tell you how he ended up in the swine world, a sullen existence that stretched as far as he could see.
The Sunday of the Prodigal Son
Sunday of the Prodigal Son
Fr. Milan Katanic
We are all in need of returning to God. But the only way we can do that is through our humility – through our admitting our fault and with repentance to return.

Wake Up and Come Home: Homily on the Prodigal Son, the Elder Brother, and the Forgiving Father
Fr. Philip LeMasters
Both the prodigal and the elder brother needed to be reconciled with their father. The same is true of each and every one of us this Lent. We will gain the spiritual strength to do so through prayer, fasting, almsgiving, and other spiritual disciplines. No matter whether we identify more with the older or the younger son, our Lord’s calling to us is essentially the same: Come home and join in the great celebration of the Heavenly Kingdom.

How do we treat the gifts of God? The Sunday of the Prodigal Son
Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh
Now, we turn away, carrying with us the gifts of God; and we live in a country that is also alien; we live in a world that is man-made, but not God-made, or rather made by God and distorted by man. What kind of hunger comes to us?

He Came to Himself—the Critical Moment
Fr. Stavros Akrotirianakis
Repentance is our way of “correcting course” in our spiritual lives, to get back on target. And this is done in the same way the Prodigal Son made his correction. First you must “come to yourself” and realize you are off the mark. And then you must make the journey back.

The Prodigal Son
A Homily on Luke 15:11-32
r. Dimitri Tsakas
Humility, repentance and then coming face to face with God. This is the journey that the Church takes us on before Lent. But today Jesus teaches us with symbols, People have got a problem with symbols in Christianity.
The Sunday of the Prodigal Son
We Can All be Considered Prodigal Sons
Fr. Vasile Tudora
I am sure many of us have felt that moment of change. For some it is the moment of conversion from a different religious background to Orthodoxy. For the Orthodox it is the moment when they actually realize what they were missing and then return to their roots. It is a powerful moment; it is a life changing moment.
