Kontakion (Tone Three)
When I disobeyed in ignorance Thy fatherly glory, I wasted in iniquities the riches that Thou gavest me. Wherefore, I cry to Thee with the voice of the prodigal son, saying, I have sinned before Thee, O compassionate Father, receive me repentant, and make me as one of Thy hired servants.
The parable of the Prodigal Son has numerous applications in our lives today. This lesson is one of many that helps prepare us for the upcoming period of Great Lent in preparation for Holy Pascha.
