" I suppose I have some things in common with the elder son in this morning's gospel lesson. Whenever I encounter this parable I find myself feeling the most empathy for him – out there in the field fuming and feeling lost while his father celebrates the son who has done so much damage. It is not fair. If I could give this parable a name I might call it “The parable of the resentful son.”
Text: Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32
preached at The Cathedral of St. John the Divine, Manhattan for the Fourth Sunday of Lent.
