Telling The Story
The Older Son
Today's "Telling the Story" is inspired by the gospel reading for the Sunday of the Prodigal Son, found in St. Luke's gospel chapter 15 and verses 11-32. When I read this story, I often find myself identifying with the older brother, even though I see him as the most pathetic character in the story. Today's "Telling the Story," entitled "The Older Son," is written (in a contemporary setting) from his perspective.
