The Lost Sheep - Luke 15: 1-7
![Picture](/uploads/2/9/2/5/29254233/214261.jpg?163)
The Lost Sheep is one of the parables that was told by Jesus and is mentioned in the Sydney Diocese unit on the Sacrament of Penance/Reconciliation. The themes of mercy and the Love of God are shown throughout the passage through the way in which the shepherd cared for all of his sheep. This is seen in the way that he left ninety nine of his sheep alone when he noticed that one of his one hundred sheep were missing (CEO, 2006).
Students are able to learn about the ways in which God's love is never ending and very deep. Students can gain an understanding of the idea that God will never leave them and will always forgive them through the way that the parable depicts the shepherd caring for each and every one of his flock, even when one may act foolish or sin.

The Prodigal Son Luke 15:11-32
Then Jesus said, There was a man who had two sons. The younger of them said to his father, ―Father, give me the share of the property that will belong to me. So he divided his property between them. A few days later the younger son gathered all he had and travelled to a distant country, and there he squandered his property in dissolute living. When he had spent everything, a severe famine took place throughout that country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed the pigs. He would gladly have filled himself with the pods that the pigs were eating; and no one gave him anything. But when he came to himself he said, ―How many of my father‘s hired hands have bread enough and to spare, but here I am dying of hunger! I will get up and go to my father, and I will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me like one of your hired hands.‘So he set off and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him. Then the son said to him, ―Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son. But the father said to his slaves, ―Quickly, bring out a robe—the best one—and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. And get the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; for this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found! And they began to celebrate.
