12 June 2020 | Friday in the First Week after Pentecost | Menlo Park, Calif.

After a month on “summer break,” we’re back with some thoughts from my 30-day retreat (which is two weeks underway here at St. Patrick’s Seminary), thoughts on “Pericles, Prince of Tyre” and the intertwined roles of fate, fortune and free will in Greek drama, and my take on friendship with Christ as the central truth of our Christian life! 

I’m planning to resume weekly episodes going forward this summer.  Also, check out my Instagram page @matthewknightarena for live-streamed Sung Vespers tonight, tomorrow and Sunday at 5:30 pm Pacific!

Opening music: “O Lord, Give Thy Holy Spirit,” composed by Thomas Tallis, sung by The Tallis Scholars, dir. Peter Phillips, 2004. All rights reserved.
