The video explains it as we "are married to God" in a way, so Jesus made Himself available to us, so our hearts would available to Him. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332676 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332684 I think saying that it is said that God and grace are present in the story of the LOTR like "light from an invisible lamp" means that you can see the light, but you can't explicitly see the source. This is how the Catholic Imagination views the world because although God is not physically on this earth in His fullness, we can still see His work and how He moves in our everyday lives. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332684 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332692 Sin in both parts of the phrase "deprived not depraved" is present but different. Deprived means suffering a severe and damaging lack, which is what we see in the world through sin and trial and suffering. Depraved means morally corrupt, wicked and the world is still good. God made the earth to be good and His people on the earth as "very good". The evil present in the world doesn't take away the true nature of which we were destined, which is "good" as God declared. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332692 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332702 Three examples of symbols of Catholicism in LOTR are the three characters that represent the Three Divine Offices of Jesus, which a priest, prophet, and king. Another symbol is the ring and how it represents sin. The third symbol is how Gollum represents God's grace. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332702 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332708 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332708 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332716 Father Charles believes that the "elvish artifacts" are good examples of how sacramentals function within Catholicism because they are the visible representing the invisible. Just like sacramentals, the elvish artifacts are symbols of something much greater than they seem to be and they acts as reminders to those who posses them. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332716 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332725 The "meshing of the planes" is when the visible becomes a vehicle for the invisible. The cloaks are examples of this as they are physical pieces of clothing that are not made of magic, but assist the one who wears it in a magical way. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332725 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332728 The Lembas Bread is different from how Catholic's understand the Eucharist because the bread, even though it is sweet, will not last forever and does not fully satisfy. The Lembas Bread is a visible sign of an invisible reality. It can be considered a sacramental however, because it represents something greater. It is a symbol of what truly satisfies. The Eucharist itself is not a symbol, it is truly Jesus, but in Lord of the Rings, the Lembas bread only satisfies temporary hunger. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332728 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332734 An "Old Testament Type" is a person, place, event or institution in the Old Testament that foreshadows the person or work of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. The Lembas bread can be viewed as a pre-Christian "type" because it points forward and not backward, making sense in a future revelation rather than representing something that already exists. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332734 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332741 The Horns of Rohan and Horns of Eorl provide hope and turn the tide of battles. They provide hope and courage and strength which provides a sacramental effect, because the sacramentals are meant to be signs and reminders of hope and strength and are meant to remind us to persevere on.]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332741 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332747 Kingsfoil connects to the Catholic Sacrament of Anointing to the Sick because the plant brings healing and the Sacrament brings healing, sometimes of the body, but always of the soul.]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332747 mrkohut https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332758 Good, thoughtful and insightful answers here. I especially like the "extra posts" that added - especially the song. Those words of St. Theresa of Avila are some of my favorite in all of Church History.

At the foot of the Cross, when Jesus says "Mother, behold your Son", Mary is therefore given to all of Humanity as Our Mother. We are called to make a home for her within our hearts just as the beloved disciple took Mary into his home. 
Mary is also Queen of Heaven and Earth. In this role, she rules over all of Heaven and Earth side by side with her Son, Jesus. 
Queen and Mother go hand and hand because while Mary is Queen over all, she is also intimately a Mother to all. And while she is Mother, she is Queen over all by the power and love of her Son. Thank you Jesus for giving us so great a Mother and so great a Queen!]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332764 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332772 December 8th]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332772 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332779 December 12th]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332779 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332784 December 25th]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332784 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332790 The Sunday After Christmas]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332790 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332794 January 1st ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332794 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332798 February 11th ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332798 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332801 March 25th ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332801 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332808 May 31st ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332808 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332812 Saturday Following the Second Sunday After Pentecost ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332812 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332818 July 16th ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332818 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332822 August 15th ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332822 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332826 August 22nd]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332826 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332829 September 8th]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332829 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332833 September 15th]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332833 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332839 October 7th]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332839 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332843 November 21st]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332843 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332846 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332846 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332852 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332852 mrkohut https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332861 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332861 mrkohut https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332866 2021-01-22 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/c57evpj1i7srht0x1617313059/wish/1115332866
