I like the way that you laid out the 2nd LOTR section. Using the image in the center is good. I'd encourage use of images also for each of the six answers that you have only in text form here.

The Queenship of Mary is associated with a battle between good and evil. This birth being brought about by God's grace will save the world but only after a terrible struggle.

Mary, the queen mother is the ark of the covenant in the fullest sense because she bears within her own body the living presence of God. She is the place where God has come to dwell.

Mary is the perfect disciple and the Mother of God.

Mary's purpose is to point us to her Son. She reflects the light of her Son.

Having a relationship with Mary does not take away from our relationship with God, it actually amplifies it.

One of the last words Jesus says to us from the cross is “Woman, behold your Son.” and “Behold your Mother.”

Jesus gave Mary to us from the cross so we can call her our Mother.

I really like what you've done here to illustrate and illuminate your responses to these questions. Nicely done here and I look forward to seeing what you create for the next set of questions!

The Athelas plant is a healing plant and the sacred oil used to anoint a person during the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is meant to heal.

The Horns of Rohan are human creations. Their power comes in summoning courage and dispelling despair. The Horns of Eorl strikes fear into the hearts of its enemies and joy into the hearts of its friends. The blowing of this horn brings about victory. They provide a sacramental effect because when they are blown, they dispel despair and illuminate power.

An Old Testament “type" is a person, place, event, or an institution in the Old Testament that foreshadows the person of Jesus Christ in New Testament. The Lembas Bread can be viewed as a pre-Christian “type" because it contains the logic of sacrament while opting for a pre-Christian setting.

# data[].attributes.body
The Lembas bread is different from how Catholics understand the Eucharist because the Eucharist for Catholics is derived from ordinary bread and then consecrated by a priest during Mass and the bread becomes the body of Christ. The Lembas bread is a singular occurrence. There is no priest, no liturgy, no divinity, and God is not in the Lembas bread. Fr. Charlie states that it can still be considered a sacramental because it comes from the earth and it is a visible sign of an invisible reality.

Father Charles says that there are two planes of reality: the spiritual and the material, the visible and the invisible, and somehow they merge. The "elvish cloaks" are an example of this phenomenon because the reader is left wondering if they are magic or not. They are woven out of material things of the earth but carry supernatural properties with them.

# data[].attributes.body
Fr. Charles believes the “elvish artifacts” are good examples of how sacramentals function within Catholicism because they are composed of the elements of the earth. These "elvish artifacts" are like light from an invisible lamp" where there is some faith everywhere in it but no visible source.

Questions on Sacramentality and LOTR (Part 2)

Questions on Sacramentality and LOTR (Part 2)

# data[].attributes.body
There are many symbols in LOTR that point to Catholicism. One example is the ring. The ring represents our Original Sin. Another example is March 25 because that is the day that the ring is destroyed in LOTR. March 25 is the Annunciation when Mary said "yes" to the Angel Gabriel to be the Mother of the Savior. The last example is Frodo's journey to Mount Doom, just as Jesus journeyed to Golgotha in Catholicism.

"Deprived" means suffering a severe and damaging lack of something. "Depraved" means morally corrupt; wicked. "Deprived but not depraved" means that man is wicked and we as humans are sinful and suffering, yet God does not let this get in the way of pouring out His love and mercy on us.

# data[].attributes.body
God and grace are not specifically shown in LOTR but they are felt and implied a little bit in the story. I think that Tolkien did not intend for LOTR to be faith based in the beginning but then God was at work in him and faith became a part of it. This shows that through humans God can use anything to bring about His grace and power.

# data[].attributes.body
"God became man, so that man may be God" means that God became man to be more like us so He could relate to us and meet us where we are. He wanted us to get to know Him better and follow in Jesus' footsteps to get to the Kingdom of Heaven.
