These are the moments when God graces us with an insight about a past event in our life that has shaped us for better or worse. A moment when we made a choice that was either life-giving or death-dealing. In the mellow moment we are held in the embrace of the event long enough to discover at least some of the truth of its impact on and meaning for our life. Jesus took time for his share of mellow moments when he went off by himself to pray or when he let the disciples go on ahead without him. He downshifted for a while in order to connect with his father in a more con- scious way so that he might know the Father’s will and be strengthened to Benedictine Monastery do it. 800 N.

When we, as members fear, whether we want to admit it or not. Some contend of a community—members of Christ’s Body—cease to that this fear has been deliberately exploited by others who are in authority, to gain power and control over those with lesser power. What is unarguable, is that fear is at the root of violence, as well as the result of violence. We have to somehow interrupt that vicious cycle. Each one of us can make changes in our personal, one-to-one relationships for a start. If we truly respect one another, can we show that more often in our behavior? Can we civilize our uncivil language and demand the same from our public officials? Can we risk showing compassion or responding gently when another is in distress?

  • The Parable of the Prodigal Son in the Fiction of Elizabeth Gaskell
    THE PARABLE OF THE PRODIGAL SON IN THE FICTION OF ELIZABETH GASKELL Tatsuhiro OHNO A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Master of Letters Department of English Literature College of Arts and Law Graduate School University of Birmingham September 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged.

The investigation into the three short stories in addition to her major works discloses the following three main features. First, the recurrent appearance of the Prodigal Son motif—committing sin, repentance, and forgiveness—in her characters’ lives and actions. Second, Gaskell’s change of depicting the prodigal by gradually refraining from inserting hints for its salvation—there are many hints in the first short story, almost none in the second, and few in the third.
