End of 2022 Reflections (Personal)

Last updated on: December 19, 2022 at 3:30 pm By Connor Brennan

2022 is drawing to a close! This year has zoomed by. For me, it’s been so chock-full of stuff that I feel like last December was just yesterday. (This blog post is really my attempt at making a “Christmas newsletter”.) Picture Perfect This was an intense year of discovering what I’m looking for in life and what I want to let go of. Especially in terms of job aspirations! I’m so glad I got the chance (multiple times across different... Read more

Autumn Peace and Letting Go (Personal Post)

Last updated on: November 19, 2022 at 1:37 am By Connor Brennan

This autumn has been a season of peace and a time for letting go. For many of us, 2022 has been a roller coaster. For me, it’s been an especially wild journey of learning what I want for my future and also learning the definition of stability. I owe God, my family, and my friends big for getting me through the lowest points of this year. The first half of 2022 was a haphazard journey that involved severe financial strain... Read more

Remembering Saint Faustina on Her Feast Day (Oct. 5th)

Last updated on: October 5, 2022 at 10:36 pm By Connor Brennan

My favorite Catholic saint is Saint Faustina, the wonderful, kind soul who heard wisdom directly from Jesus about His Divine Mercy. October 5th is her feast day!

Religious-Based Shaming Against Suicide Victims

Last updated on: September 18, 2022 at 10:35 pm By Connor Brennan

Content/Trigger Warning: Discussion of Suicide/Suicide Attempts September is Suicide Awareness Month. Christianity has often done a shoddy job of approaching this sensitive topic. Some Christian groups and speakers choose to shame suicide victims and refuse to discuss God’s mercy in regard to this tragedy. Historical Christian Views on Suicide It’s been uncomfortable for me, this process of digging into the old views of certain Christian authorities against suicide. “What a mess” isn’t quite sufficient. I’ve been reading this article by Religion... Read more

“The Grace of Undómiel”: Analyzing Arwen’s Theme of Determined Hope

Last updated on: August 29, 2022 at 5:05 pm By Connor Brennan

Arwen’s refusal to give up her hope for a future with Aragorn was captured in Howard Shore’s piece “The Grace of Undómiel”. This theme plays in The Return of the King when Arwen sees a vision of her son, Eldarion, and goes to confront her father for withholding her full future from her. Renée Fleming lends her beautiful soprano voice to the Elvish lyrics here, singing of Arwen’s wavering light amid the darkness of despair. The YouTube channel Monoverantus excels in analyzing the...
