In English
Usually all parents excuse their prodigal sons who utter lies and steal money at home. But if a servant steals a petty thing, he is at once handed over to the police. If a son in a family turns out to be a thief, his parents try to reform him by means of affectionate advice and all sorts of inducements. Instead, severe punishment is meted out to a kleptomaniac servant because he happens to be an outsider to the family. In a similar manner, all of us belong to God’s family. We have to love God like our father and establish an intimate bond of affection with Him. We must deserve his boundless love and infinite Grace. We may commit sins knowingly or unknowingly, but if we love God wholeheartedly and surrender ourselves to Him, He will surely forgive us.
