The Return of the Prodigal Son


While having our Action Group with the Sisters' Staffers, our facilitator, Miming, read to us a prolific reflection on the painting of Rembrandt on "The Return of the Prodigal Son." I could personally feel the soul of each character as they were individually described.When asked whom we could relate much among the characters, I could not help but remember a prayer I uttered to God:

For all things that I am. 
For all things I am not and cannot be.
For who I am and who am not.
For all things I can do,
cannot do, have not done...
For how little I have to offer,
is already the most genuine of what I could give.

Receive O Lord, 
how little this love may be.
I have nothing more.
All else, is by Your grace!

Amen.



**The Return of the Prodigal Son by Rembrandt
