JEALOUSY UNNECESSARY
Jesus, in the parable of the prodigal son, proclaims an alternative to the jealousy and bitterness that seem almost natural among siblings vying for parental approval. Both sons, the father says, have and have always had their own special places in his heart. What he gives to one takes nothing away from the other. In today's world of "three strikes and you're out," this story is ripe for Lenten consideration.
