2 October 2020 | Holy Guardian Angels | Eugene, Ore.

O bless the Lord! Praise and exalt Him above all forever! It’s the feast of the Guardian Angels, although of course (even though her day has come and gone now) I spend half the time talking about St. Thérèse. Hey, it’s me — what did you expect? Also, we meet a legendary character of the Shakespearean canon (and not one, not two, but THREE more characters named Henry) in this week’s play: King Henry IV, part 1! Friend, don’t knock the history plays until you’ve read them, because this one is a wild ride. 

Opening music: “Angelus ad pastores ait,” composed by Hieronymous Praetorius, performed by VOCES8 at Kirche St. Quirinus, Tegernsee, Germany, 2019. All rights reserved.
