A superficial reader of the gospel may say that Jesus seems to focus on the crazy man's behavior. However if your read the parable carefully, the father has the starring role. If a film be made on this parable, the title would be: "The mystery of the loving father," not the craziness of the prodigal son. This young man is not a hero by any stretch of imagination nor a role model, God forbid! He came back not because of love but because he was hungry and needy. We can hardly understand the patient waiting of the loving father, who wanted to bring to life the son from death, from sin to grace again!
