29 January 2021 | St. Francis de Sales | Eugene, Ore.
In this week’s installment, we dive into Shakespeare’s As You Like It and compare the characters of the lover, the philosopher, the ruler and the worldly-wise, asking the question: In whom does wisdom deign to dwell? Might the innocence of love conceal a wisdom which outshines the great and the proud? Also, I delight in Tolkien’s defense of C.S. Lewis’ “Out of the Silent Planet” (which long-time listeners may recall from way back in episode 2!) and his defiance of Nazi politics, as well as news of a brand new commentary on his work! Finally, today’s saint has something important to teach us about the devout life and the universal call to holiness.
Opening music: “Dies est laetitiae,” sung by Schola Hungarica, dir. László Dobszay, 1994. All rights reserved.
