The Parable of the Prodigal Son (also known as the Two Brothers, Lost Son, Loving Father, or Lovesick Father) is one of the parables of Jesus and appears in Luke 15:11–32. In the story, a father has two sons, a younger and an older. The younger son asks the father for his inheritance, and the father grants his son's request. However, the younger son is prodigal (.

So decided, the prodigal son set out for his father’s house. In the meantime, his father was always thinking of his second son. He would sit near the windows. He would look out at the road, expecting his son to return home. One day his father saw his son coming at a distance. He ran out of his house in great joy. He met his son on the way. His son knelt down. The elder son understood the love behind the words of his father. He forgot everything about his younger brother. He decided to take part in the celebration.

While the older son stayed home and worked hard for his father, the younger son ran away with his inheritance and spend it on foolish things.

This is the story Jesus Christ told in Luke 15, commonly known as the parable of the prodigal son. It recounts a son’s departure from his father’s home, the lessons he learns, and his return, wiser for the experience. It is also the story of a family’s journey to reconciliation. Families are the foundation of life. The biblical family is the model on which God is building a spiritual family of glorified sons and daughters. Perhaps you actually find yourself at present in a position similar to that of the son in the parable. You have been estranged from a parent or friend and feel you cannot return to him or her. You can’t bring yourself to pick up the phone or reach out and begin to mend a broken relationship.

Nouwen's absorption in the story (and the painting) is so complete that the father's challenge to love the son, and the son's challenge to receive that love, become Nouwen's own. And Nouwen's writing is so clear and his tone is so appealingly frank and humble that readers-no matter how far from home-will find hope for themselves in the prodigal peace Nouwen ultimately achieves. -Michael Joseph Gross.
