Podcast notes

Saint Francis of Assisi

G.K. Chesterton’s book is available as a Daily Book in all the Universalis apps and programs. You can read about the Daily Books feature here.

Saint Thérèse of Lisieux

An excellent book to accompany Thérèse’s own Story of a Soul is The Spiritual Journey of Thérèse of Lisieux by Guy Gaucher, Bishop of Meaux, a Carmelite and an international authority on the life and writings of Thérèse. It is free of the sentimentality with which people sweeten the life of a remarkably down-to-earth saint.

Angels

C.S. Lewis has angelic beings as characters in his book Out of the Silent Planet, about a journey to Mars, and in its two sequels.

J.R.R. Tolkien’s image of guardian angels as sunbeams comes in a letter to his son Christopher dated 7-8 November 1944. It is letter 89 in The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien selected and edited by Humphrey Carpenter.
