5 October 2021 | Bl. Francis Xavier Seelos | Menlo Park, Calif.

Coming to you on a Tuesday night in the midst of midterms (but hey - better late than never, right?), I share some thoughts on priesthood, sonship and obedience in preparation for my M.A. thesis, as well as the friendship and father/son dynamic of Cirion and Eorl in this week’s reading from the Unfinished Tales. Plus, a little-known American saint makes the calendar!

• Check out The Nature of Middle-Earth by Carl Hotstetter here

Opening music: “O nata lux,” composed by Morten Lauridsen, sung by the Los Angeles Master Chorale, dir. Nicol Matt, 2018. All rights reserved.
