20 February 2021 | Saturday after Ash Wednesday | Veneta, Ore.

Our hobbits have covered a lot of ground in the last week, and we journey on with them through the wilderness from Bree to Rivendell, on to the slopes of mighty Caradhras and into the mines of Moria! In today’s Tolkien segment, we discuss the importance of memory and different ways of relating to the past. Also, we examine trust as the principal act of faith and discuss its role in our spiritual lives and the life of the Church. Onward!

Opening music: “Ne irascaris Domine/Civitas sancti tui,” double motet composed by William Byrd, sung by VOCES8, Gresham Centre, London, 2019. All rights reserved.
