Finding the Lost

We all know the agony of losing something necessary such as keys, wallets, passcodes, favorite photos.  How we search up and down, try to retrace our steps, remember when we last used or saw them, how we pray to St. Anthony until we find them.  Then, what a feeling of relief, what a joy!
Jesus reminds us today that when the sinner repents, when that lost sheep or lost coin is found, the angels themselves rejoice.  Perhaps we could make their day by looking into our lives to see where we are losing ground, subtly slipping away from prayer or our commitment to service, and finding ourselves again.  Most of us are not guilty of losing the Big Things, but it's those small things, which unless found, could lead to a major loss, a major breach with God.  Lord help me to seek and find so that I will bring joy to you and the angels today.
