The
Parable in the Gospel text of today is popularly known as “The Prodigal Son.”
However, a more apt title is “The Prodigal Father.” This is because the son is
prodigal only with material things. It is the father who is the real prodigal
in the story. It is the father who is lavish. It is the father who is wasteful.
It is the father who is a spendthrift, but with his love. The prodigality of
the father’s love shines through the whole story.
