*Sacred Scripture*Parable* The Lost Drachma – Tissot
This artwork by James Tissot shows the woman from Jesus Christ’s parable, narrated in Luke 15:7-10, diligently sweeping her house to find a lost coin.
The Parable of the Lost Coin.
8“Or what woman having ten coins* and losing one would not light a lamp and sweep the house, searching carefully until she finds it?
9And when she does find it, she calls together her friends and neighbors and says to them, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found the coin that I lost.’
10In just the same way, I tell you, there will be rejoicing among the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

Saying the holy name of Jesus is the simplest way of praying always.
1-A prayer from Raphael the Archangel:
*While you are on this earth, you must praise the Lord God and give him thanks.
2-A prayer from Tobit and Tobias:
*They began to sing hymns of praise, giving thanks for all the mighty deeds God had done while his angel Raphael had been with them.
3-A simple Jesus prayer:
*Lord, Lord, Jesus Christ…Son of God…have mercy on me…Be kind to others…Work Hard…Be joyful.
4-Another prayer:
*When all that God asks of us is to be quiet and keep ourselves at peace-attentive to the secret work He is beginning in our souls-Be Empty and See That I Am God.
But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
1 Cor 1:27
