*Friends, our Gospel today is Jesus’ best-known parable: the story of the
prodigal son. In considering this narrative, we are dealing with an icon of
the Father told by the one who is himself the Icon of the Father. Thus we
have Jesus indirectly crafting a subtle self-portrait. The gathering
embrace of the father in the story mirrors that of the heavenly Father,
which in turn is represented in that of Jesus. What happens when the father
embraces his son and kisses him? The boy speaks: “Father, I have sinned
against heaven and against you; I no longer deserve to be called your son.”
Whenever characters in the Bible come close to the divine grace, they
experience a heightened sense of their own unworthiness. *This is the
dynamic at work in the case of the prodigal son.
* But his father ignores his carefully rehearsed speech, and, with an
eagerness bordering on impatience, instructs his servants to prepare a
celebration. Our participation in the flow of the divine life is,
necessarily, a gift. It cannot, in principle, be earned or merited, but
only accepted. We can only be embraced by it.*
