The Parable of the Prodigal Son

When the religious leaders accuse Jesus of violating their traditions by welcoming sinners, he responds with three stories: the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son. Today’s Gospel lesson of the Parable of the Prodigal Son is one of Jesus’ most beloved and moving stories.
