«O Regresso do Filho Pródigo» is a spiritual meditation by Henri Nouwen, published by Apostolado da Oração in paperback (160 pages, in Portuguese).
Starting from Rembrandt's painting, Nouwen meditates on the parable of the prodigal son and on his own spiritual journey. The work interweaves analysis of the painting with the reading of the gospel to speak of estrangement, reunion and the call to welcome and forgive, until discovering in the father the vocation to be like him.
Seventh edition, published in May 2005; first installment of the series «The Return of the Prodigal Son».
For readers of Christian spirituality, interested in Rembrandt's work and in meditation on the parable of the prodigal son.
