Parables

Today we read the Parable of the Prodigal Son in church (Luke 15:11b-32).  This is a very, very familiar story - which in a way is a problem since a parable is meant to capture the attention of the audience, to spur them to see things in a new light.  Take a few moments to read the story.  Sit quietly. Consider what jumps out at you, what word, phrase, or idea startles you.  Think about your discovery.  Then offer a prayer of thanksgiving to God for stories that help us see our lives in a different, potentially transforming, light.
