06 Hobbits and the Spiritual Value of Rest (Lord of the Rings theme #2) - a podcast by Br Lawrence MGL

Rest ... we could all do with more of it! But what part does it play in the Catholic spiritual life? Explore how the spirituality of rest permeates The Lord of the Rings. Learn how even in the middle of their urgent mission, hobbits made a place for rest and celebration. If today you're feeling like "butter spread over too much bread", be replenished within the Fellowship!
