5. The Prodigal Son: Gift of the Brodacki, Lozinski and Palumbo Families. This window shows the parable of God's forgiveness in the Gospel of Luke. The Franciscans preach the Gospel of Forgiveness and Reconciliation with God. The younger of the two sons took his share of wealth from his father, left his father’s home and squandered his fortune. To eke out a living, he worked as a hired hand feeding swine on a farm. He repented and returned to his father’s house to ask for his father’s forgiveness. Upon seeing the returning prodigal son, the father rejoiced, welcomed him, and prepared a feast for him. The elder son was angered by the reception given to the younger son. The father assured his elder son that since the elder son had remained faithful and had worked with the father, all that the father owned also belonged to the elder son. They were to rejoice, however, because the lost had been found. |
