the pope used the parable of the prodigal son to explain the process of conversion and reconciliation, and that god the father is "rich in mercy" and always ready to forgive. "reconciliation is principally a gift of the heavenly father," and an initiative on his part. he observes that the older brother also needs to be converted from his selfishness and jealousy. each person is both the prodigal son and the older brother, both in need of reconciliation.
