War comes to Gondor! On this short walk by moonlight, we discuss the last great clash of the forces of Mordor, driven on by their Captain of Despair, against the defenders of the White Tower and the horsemen of Rohan. We read this chapter through the theme of despair (and hope), and discuss how the deeds of little people can shake the plans of the great. No podcast next week, friends, but I pray your Holy Week is a blessing! See you all in Eastertide!

Opening music: “Pueri hebraeorum,” motet composed by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, sung by The Cardinall’s Musick, dir. Andrew Carwood, 2018. All rights reserved.
