Catechetical Resource 4: Who Am I in the Presence of God?


The Story of the Prodigal Son 1: Focussing on the Younger Son and the Elder Son

Who Am I?  This is the first session of the two part  reflection focussing on the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Lk 15).  I prefer to call it, “The Parable of the Lost Son”.  This part is a self-examination by taking a closer look at the younger son and the elder son.  Both sons exhibit characteristics that we deal with in our own journey towards realising our true selves, and in opening ourselves to  life and love in the Father.  The result of coming to our selves, by being surprised by the love of the Father, is the celebration of life. (For a change look at the son being embraced by the father as the elder son!)
