8 “Or what woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one of them,
does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?
9 When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying,
“Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.’
10 Just so, I tell you,
there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
“A penitent man is humble before God;
offer a prayer of thanksgiving for His forgiveness.”
