The lost piece of silver

Saint Luke - Chapter 15

The lost piece of silver. J-J Tissot.

[8] Aut quae mulier habens drachmas decem, si perdiderit drachmam unam, nonne accendit lucernam, et everrit domum, et quaerit diligenter, donec inveniat?
Or what woman having ten groats; if she lose one groat, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she find it?


[9] Et cum invenerit convocat amicas et vicinas, dicens : Congratulamini mihi, quia inveni drachmam quam perdideram.
And when she hath found it, call together her friends and neighbours, saying: Rejoice with me, because I have found the groat which I had lost.

[10] Ita, dico vobis, gaudium erit coram angelis Dei super uno peccatore poenitentiam agente.
So I say to you, there shall be joy before the angels of God upon one sinner doing penance.

Totus tuus ego sum 

Et omnia mea tua sunt;

Tecum semper tutus sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam
