Luke 15 Jesus gave the parable of the lost piece of silver. “A woman had ten pieces of silver and lost one. She lit a candle and cleaned her whole house, looking diligently until she finds it. “Then she invites all her friends and neighbors to celebrate, saying, ‘Be happy with me! I have found the piece that was lost!’ “It is with the same joy that the angels of God feel over one sinner who repents.”
