«Gli si gettò al collo. Lectio divina» is the lectio divina by Marko Ivan Rupnik, published by Lipa in paperback (80 pages, in Italian).
Meditation on the parable of the prodigal son, also called the merciful father. Rupnik contrasts the son who leaves and squanders his inheritance with the one who stays home with a servile and resentful attitude; the father's embrace of the returning son, the gesture that gives the book its title, invites readers to recognize these tensions in their own lives and in culture.
It belongs to Lipa's «Sotto il tiglio» collection, where it appears as number 4.
For readers of Christian spirituality who want a brief and accessible reflection on forgiveness, reconciliation, and family relationships.
