The Painting That Changed a Life
When Henri Nouwen first encountered Rembrandt's "The Return of the Prodigal Son," something profound stirred within him. The image of a father embracing his kneeling son with tender hands spoke directly to his exhausted soul. This chance encounter with a poster in France would eventually lead Nouwen from Harvard's prestigious halls to a community serving people with intellectual disabilities-a journey where he discovered the true meaning of homecoming. What makes this meditation on a single painting so powerful is how it invites us to see ourselves in each character of Jesus's parable-as the wayward younger son, the resentful elder son, and ultimately, as the compassionate father. Through Rembrandt's brushstrokes and Nouwen's reflections, we discover this isn't someone else's story-it's our own spiritual autobiography.
