"ALL THAT IS GOLD..." - The ANNUNCIATION and the LORD OF THE RINGS

Homily - 4th Sunday of Advent
Luke 1:26-38

How does a poem by J.R.R. Tolkien, featured in "The Fellowship of the Ring" (Book 1 of "The Lord of the Rings") reflect the same sentiment expressed by the Angel Gabriel during the Annunciation to the Blessed Virgin Mary?

In his Homily, Fr. Bill discusses an often overlooked detail in the Annunciation to Mary, it's relation to the Annunciation to Zechariah immediately preceding it, and how Tolkien's Catholicism was worked into his storytelling of the redemption of Middle Earth.
