Evangélium szent Lukács könyvéből
!Luke 15:11-32
Azon időben mondá Jézus a farizeusoknak és írástudóknak: Egy embernek volt két fia. A fiatalabbik egyszer így szólt apjához: Apám, add ki nekem az örökség rám eső részét És így tovább.

Homily by St Ambrose, Bishop (of Milan.)
!Bk. vii. Comment, on Luke xv.
Thou seest how that the heavenly goods are given to such as seek them. Neither oughtest thou to think the father to blame, because he gave to his younger son. In the kingdom of God there is no age of weakness, neither doth faith wax infirm with years. He, surely, who asked, deemed himself of sufficient age. And would that he had not left his father! then had he been ignorant of the obstacle of his age! But after that he had left his father's house, and had gone into a far country, he began to be in want. Well is he said to have wasted his substance, who hath cut himself off from the Church!
