15:8. “Or what woman having ten silver coins worth a day's wage apiece, if she loses one coin, does not light a candle and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it,

15:9. “and when she has found it, calls together her friends and neighbors, saying: 'Rejoice with me, because I have found the coin which I had lost'?

15:10. “So I say to you, there shall be joy before the angels of God over one sinner doing penance.”

Before the angels. . .By this it is plain that the spirits in Heaven have a concern for us below, and a joy at our repentance and consequently a knowledge of it.
