In this retreat, Fr. Gallagher explores themes from J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings as these apply to the Christian life. Fr. Gallagher examines our Christian vocation in the light of Frodo’s call, Christian fidelity in the light of Sam’s fidelity, and joy as it appears in The Lord of the Rings and in our Christian life. He reviews excerpts from the letters that Tolkien (a devout Catholic) wrote to his son, focusing on Tolkien’s love for the Eucharist.
