• In the Revised Common Lectionary and Roman Rite Catholic Lectionary, this parable is read on the fourth Sunday of Lent (in Year C).
• In the Orthodox Church, it is the second Sunday of pre-Lent, the weeks of preparation preceding Great Lent.
• This parable of God’s forgiveness calls us to “come to ourselves” as did the prodigal son, to see ourselves as being “in a far country” far from the Father’s house, and to make the journey of return to God.
