The Lectionary reading of the Gospel for this week is the familiar story of the Prodigal Son or the Forgiving Father. We may be tempted to focus on the son that leaves and forget the older son, yet both are crucial to the story. In this painting, as in the story, the focus remains on both of their need for healing and reconciliation. The older son who did not leave is as lost as the one who did. Both stand in need of God's healing.
