The Parable of the Prodigal Son

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


The parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15, 11-32) forms a narrative for repentance at its different stages, and like that of the Publican and Pharisee, is a traditional subject for reflection for Christians entering into the Lenten period. Sin is exile, repentance is the return from exile to our true home. We also learn of three things through this parable: the condition of the sinner, the rule of repentance, and the greatness of God’s compassion and mercy. These are themes also, of course that are applicable generally during the Lenten season.

This painting by the English artist John Macallan Swan was done in the year 1888, and is now in the Tate Gallery in London. He uses a naturalistic style; the focus is on the light that emanates from the torso of the son and makes the connection in our minds with the person of Christ, the Son, who is the Light of the World. Notice how the artist draws our attention to it by rendering most of the rest of the painting in reduced color and dark tones, as the Prodigal Son dreams of home, represented by the distant heavenly light on the horizon.

      “Sin is exile, repentance is the return from exile to our true home”. If one is in synchrony with the hermeneutic of the post conciliar church of Vatican II, the line above is a incitation to run towards the Church in Rome, bow to the heresiarch pontiff of the moment -even to the two “saints” and “venerable” five predecessors who were all, without exception heresiarchs; and become a disciple to what is the Synagogue of Satan! Yes dear brother reporter: the Synagogue of Satan as said in the mouth of the Queen of Prophets, Holy Mary, Mother of God back 150 years ago at La Salette.

      “New Liturgical Movement (Reporter)”, your career as a reporter leads you to becoming like the sirens singing their lethal song! We have no griefs against your poisonous lines, because you likely don’t know what you are doing. Sin is exile, it is true, but exile is not always sin, for at times, exile is forced as an avoidance from Sin! Pope Gregory XVIII, the legitimate successor to His late Holiness Pope Gregory XVII is said to be in exile currently, and this exile is for several reasons which are the opposite of sin. First, the legitimate Pope wants nothing to do with the clique of the Vatican which has hijacked the Church on October 26, 1958, in the same way as Our Lord said He had nothing to do with the father of lies “who was a murderer from the beginning”. Second, the legitimate Pope “Petrus” is accountable for his sheep’s and lambs’, and therefore warns to stay away from…

      • Daughter of the Church

        … let’s continue the comment… . Second, the legitimate Pope “Petrus” is accountable for his sheep’s and lambs’, and therefore warns to stay away from the Vatican which has turned into a den of renegades to the Catholic faith which is based upon hope and depends totally upon charity (which charity has nothing to the “love” of the century). Lastly -and you must know that since you are a scribe for the service of the 60 years old New-Church occupying the Vatican- , the Apostle warned that even if a angel of light were preaching a different gospel than his, then one should stay away from it.

        Your lines is an incitation to return back to an imposture of the Roman Catholic Church. You are unaware of what you are being made to write, but woe to the wicked who are your directors. They shalt surely die!

        Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!
        Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!
        Saint Peter and Saint Paul, pray for us!
