 who was brought to his senses by physical hunger when he was in a far country. As Jesus tells the story, this matter of hunger brought him to his senses. And he said, ìHow many of my fatherís hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death. I will set out and go back to my father and say to him, ìFather, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.î
