In doing this, God became human so that he could experiences our joys and sorrows. "Man can become God" is not a literal meaning of everyone of us becoming our own God, instead we become a part of God within Heaven as a result of that "marriage". ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323846 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323850 The reference to the "light from an invisible lamp" means that although we cannot find the direct source, we can watch the light pass through. In LOTR, it's not Tolkien or the characters who are the direct source of light, it is instead God who's light passes through the book and brings the sacraments. This exemplifies the Catholic Imaginations as Catholics are conditioned to derive meaning from what God's light goes through.]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323850 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323859 In the Catholic Faith, we judge ourselves as a deprived society. Deprived means to lack an essential part of oneself, in this case being perfectly holy as a result of original sin. Depraved is what many other religions may describe themselves as. Depraved conjures a wicked and evil-doing society which God poses a negative attitude. It's another part of the Catholic Imagination that believes God is still present all around us and we will finally be with God in Heaven.]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323859 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323863 1. The ring of Sauron represents the ideas of original sin and Frodo's journey to destroy it describes our own journey to rid our self of sin and temptation in order to reach the kingdom of God
2.  Gandalf represents a Christ-like figure covered in mystery as Saroun would represent the devil as both are in a constant struggle and battle of middle-earth.
3. Tolkien throughout the book, will allude multiple times to the number 7 within certain groups and objects. The number 7 in the Church represents the number of sacraments but also the 7 deadly sins. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323863 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323871 Both elvish artifacts and sacraments/sacramentals show the same idea as a "visible object" containing and "invisible" grace. An example would be an old bottle of wine, as it's not the outside that is of the greatest concern, but the wine inside that can still be enjoyed by all.]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323871 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323875 There are two planes of reality. There is both a material and a spiritual plane that can merge together a different points. They don't form into one, but rather both exist at the same time. In looking at the elvish cloaks, although they are made of the same material found in middle earth, they present an ambiguous "magic" that coexists with the material plane.]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323875 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323880 The elvish bread, although similar to the Eucharist, still carries many differences.  For example, the Lembas bread is only received once by Frodo while the Eucharist can be received multiple times.  There is also no spiritual presence or God behind the Lembas Bread while the Eucharist becomes part of God.  It can still be sacramental as it gives similar graces to Frodo and is derived from the same elements of earth like the Eucharist.  "Visible contains the invisible." ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323880 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323886 An Old Testament "type" is an event, person, place, or thing that foreshadows the works of Jesus Christ in the New Testament.  It's important to remember that since the middle-earth is a pre-Christian world, the Lembas bread is to foreshadow future events or "revelation", making it a pre-Christian "type". ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323886 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323893 When looking at the multiple horns used throughout the LOTR, all of them are used of materials from middle-earth, but when blown, summon courage and dispel despair as most sacramentals are used for today. The horns also scare the orcs which can show today's sacramentals repelling the temptation of sin. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323893 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323896 The Athelas plant contains the power of healing and is used throughout the book. It has a connection to the role of "king" as it needs a kings hand to fully heal. It provides the same effect as anointing as when ministered, it provides a immediate sense of relief and alleviates pain. Both are used within certain rituals and need the proper authority figures to be effectively used.]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323896 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323904 2021-01-22 18:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323904 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323911 2021-01-22 18:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323911 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323915 2021-01-22 18:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323915 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323920 2021-01-22 18:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323920 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323924 2021-01-22 18:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323924 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323929 Celebrated December 8th.  Celebrates Mary's purity from sin at the moment of her birth.]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323929 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323937 Celebrated December 12th.  Celebrates Mary's presence in Mexico when Juan Diego was visited by Mary and given roses in winter in order to prove her existence and allow Juan to build the church on the site of her appearance.]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323937 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323945 Celebrated December 25th.  Celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ.]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323945 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/ixd4csrkxs2ehrx1617313036/wish/1115323953 Celebrated the Sunday after Christmas.
