I like what you've done with your layout and design here. The combination of the "'bar" with the season's name and the feasts flowing off it is quite effective. I think your colors look a bit drab on this background. I changed the pallet to the "dark" to see what you think of the look of it.

Good improvement on the second LOTR reflections. I like your text and image blend here. I'd encourage you to look at other's Padlets to see how they made the LOTR reflections really pop and try similar techniques on your Padlets in the future.

The Marian content can be found below all of the LOTR posts. Once you see the first, which should be the winter feasts, you can scroll right to see the spring, then down to see summer and fall. Below that I analyze the two videos.

Both Father Mike and Bishop Barron refer to Mary as the one who bears within herself the living presence of God, Jesus Christ himself. Mary is the ultimate Queen of Heaven as stated by both videos. While Bishop Barron takes on a more metaphorical approach to the Queenship of Mary being represented as a battle, Father Mike explains how transitively, choosing to follow Jesus means that we are choosing to follow Mary. So, in a way, by going with the idea of the Queenship of Mary being a "battle", when we choose to follow Christ, we are choosing to follow Mary, therefore joining in a union with Heaven, ultimately choosing the good side.

-The Marian feast of the Queenship of Mary is actually a very strong STATEMENT being made.
-This feast is not sentimental, in fact it is associated right away

with a great cosmic struggle; a battle

between good and evil .
-Mary is in the fullest

possible sense the Ark of the Covenant

because she bears within her own body

the living presence of God. She is the temple, she is the place where God has come to dwell right away.
-This feast is about a battle. The question is, which side are you going to fight for? Joining with the Queen of Heaven with the Ark of the Covenant? Or will you be on the enemy side?

Father Mike: Why Catholics Call Mary Their Mother

Father Mike: Why Catholics Call Mary Their Mother

# data[].attributes.body
There are two reasons for which we NEED a relationship with Mary.
1. Getting to know Mary more does in NO WAY take away from our relationship with God. In fact, choosing to love Mary, someone who God loves, only increases our relationship with him. It all points to God's amazingness.
2. If we are disciples of Jesus, we therefore have the same Mother Mary as he does. Simply choosing to follow Jesus creates a motherly bond with Mary as well. We call Mary our Mother because she gave Jesus to us, the rightful Son of God. Jesus gave his mom to us as our mom.

The Athelas Plant is a healing plant that the men of the West brought to Middle Earth. It relates to the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick because it contains special healing powers, much like the Anointing Sacrament has. The plant is highly revered in order to work, just like the Sacrament.

The Horns symbolize victory and stand for defiance, recklessness, and going on...even when there is no hope. They can provide a sacramental effect because they give strength and courage to those who hear it. The horn blows right before battle as a way to scare off the enemy. In this way the enemy can be interpreted as Satan, and the horns are a sacramental way to ward him off.

An Old Testament 'type' is a person, place, event, or institution that foreshadows the person and work of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. According to Father Charlie, the Lembas Bread makes more sense to represent something in the future, rather than the past, such as a revelation.

# data[].attributes.body
The Lembas bread is different than the Eucharist because Tolkien states that the Eucharist is much more than a fairy-tale item such as Lembas. Although they are parallel in their functions, the Lembas is a lesser thing than far greater things such as the Eucharist. It can still be considered a sacramental, however, as it performs the same functions as a sacramental would. The Lembas bread gives strength and will to those who eat it. A sacramental gives strength and will to those who revere it and praise it. Thus, they have very similar parallels.

The "meshing of the planes" is referring to the visible reality coming together with the spiritual reality, almost making them undistinguishable. The elvish cloaks have the hue and beauty of everything, but are made from the elves through the things they love. The elvish cloaks have properties that would seem to be unexplainable by merely physical properties alone. Thus they are an example of the phenomenon of the meshing of the planes.

The Elvish Artifacts are good examples of how sacramentals function within Catholicism because they give the strength and power for one to carry out their labors for the day, much like a Catholic sacramental would, such as a Crucifix or Rosary. For example, the lembas is a cake that the elves used, and it helped men to gain more strength, feed their will and carry out labors through the day, as long as they revered it, much like the Eucharist (a sacrament).

I believe Gandalf can be viewed as a Christ-like figure, as he dies as a sacrifice and "resurrects" like Jesus did. I think the ring can be a symbol of man's lust for power, showing anti-sacramental aspects of the Catholic Faith (or more plainly, temptation from Satan). I also think that the Ring of Fire can be symbolic of the Holy Spirit, as it is used to kindle and enflame all hearts in the fight against Sauron.

Catholics need to view Original Sin as a means of our ultimate salvation. Humans are naturally born into it. While Catholics view Original Sin as a causation of our deprivation, like a lack of complete holiness, contrary to Mother Mary or Jesus, Protestants view it as depravation, a sign that humans are naturally inclined to be wicked. It is necessary for Catholics to not give up hope, but see Original Sin as an opportunity to become better people.

I think the "light from an invisible lamp" aspect shows us how God is simply present everywhere. He is not explicit of is whereabouts and this light creates such a distinct mystification of God's presence. This shows that the Catholic Imagination views the world as guided by God, and his light will always be present, even though it may not look like it comes from anywhere at all.

I think that the fact that God became human so that humans becomes God shows us that God needed to see from our point of view to truly be able to know us better. God did this so that humans could enter into eternal life ultimately.
