Luke 15:9

"“Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn’t light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?"

Key Reflection

This passage illustrates the value of seeking what is lost. Just as a woman would frantically search for even one missing drachma coin, so too God rejoices over the repentance of a single sinner, highlighting the divine delight in recovering what was lost.
