26 September 2021 | Ss. Cosmas and Damian | Menlo Park, Calif.

On this beautiful Sunday afternoon, we dive into the Disaster of the Gladden Fields, a short story with big implications for the Third Age of Middle-Earth. Also: who are the saints behind those names we hear so often in the First Eucharistic Prayer? We get to know a thing or two about Cosmas and Damian, two brothers among the saints much beloved by the Roman Church of old.
