26 February 2021 | Ember Friday in Lent | Eugene, Ore.
What is the difference between temptation and trial? How do we stand fast, and what do we do when we fail? The fellowship of the Ring face these questions as they come this week to Rauros Falls and the Emyn Muil, and we face them, too, at the end of our first week in the desert of Lent. In this week’s podcast, we learn from the examples of Galadriel and Boromir, and we discuss the topic of atonement and the role of the Father in Catholic theology—far from the celestial child abuser of Martin Luther’s imagination! “Come, let us set things right, says the Lord!” (Isaiah 1:18)
Opening music: Psalm 50, sung by the Monastery Choir of St. John of San Francisco, Manton, California, 2008. All rights reserved.
