- Abstract
"Saint John was a very good shepherd for his Lord. One day, a lamb was lost. He got back and, while looking for it, he ran across waters and fields [...] for three days and three nights. When he got it, he kissed the lamb's feet: -- Poor lamb, said John, you must have hurt your legs so bad when you ran away. If it were another man, he would have sacrificed the lamb immediately. Then God made him a saint". This is, according to Noica, the Romanian version of the prodigal son. Where do we start from? Where we arrive through all this with the help of Noica, this is what I am trying to answer, shortly, through this text.
