Through studying the lives of the saints, following the liturgical calendar at home, making hands-on crafts, and lots of prayer we open our lives to the pursuit of virtue. The focused content is centered around a core virtue or a focused feast day with relevant insights, common Catholic prayers, and family-friendly activities. This calendar seeks to support individuals and families on their journey of faith. This episode is sponsored by the 2018-2019 Year of Virtue Liturgical Calendar created in a collaboration between The Telos Art Shop and Providential Company. We’ll definitely be chatting more about Gunnar’s Daughter in our Facebook group so be sure to join in over there!

We also touch on the idea of justice versus revenge and how it’s a crime that no one has made this story into a TV show (did you hear that, all you TV producers who surely listen to our podcast?!!!). We discuss the fascinating setting of Viking culture being introduced to Christian thought and the effects of sin on the perpetrator, the wronged, and the community. In our discussion we talk about how the old saga style of this work lends itself surprisingly well to the multi-dimensional characters and strong visuals Undset presents in the story. And if any of these topics might trigger trauma for you, feel free to skip this episode and we’ll see you in a couple of weeks! Due to its mature content, this isn’t a good one to listen to with kids around. But since Kristin is a thousand pages long, it didn’t seem like a good book club option (you’re welcome, everyone!) and we’ve been wanting to branch out and read some of Undset’s other works, this 148-page tour de force seemed like a better option.īefore we get any further, consider yourself warned that this book contains some very difficult topics such as sexual assault and infant and child loss. Every so often we tell the listeners ahead of time about a great book we want to discuss and have a little FoC “book club.” This time it’s Gunnar’s Daughter by Nobel Prize winner Sigrid Undset. You’ve probably heard us talk about how much we love Undset’s most famous work, Kristin Lavransdatter.
