My Brother’s Keeper?

Those who compiled the lectionary didn’t see a need to include the story of Adam and Eve’s sons, Cain and Abel. And yet museums around the world showcase paintings of this famous story of the world’s first murder. (The one pictured here is by Titian.) What does it have to teach us?
