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.
