The Parable of the Lost Son conveys the far-reaching forgiveness that is available to all. No matter what we have done, and how extensive our sins, God will never reject us should we turn from those sins and return to Him.
You may be referring to the parable of the lost son (prodigal) found in Luke 15:11-32.
It doesn't refer to any sacrament the parable is about the nation of Israel. The parable of the Lost Son is in a group of three parables - The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin and the Lost Son. These three parables are about God's love for people who are lost and, in the context of the parables, God's love for the 'lost' nation of Israel. The father in the parable represents God. The youngest son represents Israel and the oldest son represents the Pharisees and the scribes. The parable was told because of the attitudes of the scribes and Pharisees. Both of these groups were self righteous and rejected Jesus. This parable along with the parables of the lost coin and the lost sheep, are rebukes to the scribes and Pharisees.
The Parable of the Lost Son, also known as the Parable of the Prodigal Son, took place in a faraway country where the younger son had squandered his inheritance. It is a teaching story shared by Jesus in the Bible to illustrate God's unconditional love and forgiveness.

Parables are short stories or anecdotes that teach a moral or spiritual lesson. They are meant to convey deeper truths or insights about life, morality, or spiritual principles in a simple and relatable way. The lessons from parables often require reflection and interpretation to uncover their intended meaning.

The parables of Jesus are usually concerned with spiritual truths rather than morals. Parables are a way of teaching spiritual truths. The spiritual truth is hidden in stories of everyday life - "an earthly story with a heavenly meaning." The real meaning of the parable is hidden to those who are not seeking spiritual truth or are not willing to think about the parable. The parable of the Lost Coin is the second parable in a group of three parables - The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin and the Lost Son. These three parables are about God's love for people who are lost and, in the context of the parables, God's love for the 'lost' nation of Israel.
The only gospel that includes Jesus' parables about the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son is the Gospel of Luke. These parables emphasize the themes of repentance, forgiveness, and God's unending love for humanity.
Jesus told a parable out an unforgiving servant who got forgiven a great debt. In turn he refused to forgive another servant who owed him a little. He got severely reprimanded by his master for his lack of forgiveness, seeing he himself had been forgive. He was then thrown back into prison.
