Br. Cassian Mary Iozzo, O.P., on the Ring of Power Vis-à-vis Fellowship with Others

"Anyone who is familiar with J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings might wonder: what does world domination have to do with invisibility? These are the two abilities granted by the wearer of the One Ring, which drives the story's conflict. Surprisingly, this question touches upon the fundamental connection of human nature, fellowship, and ultimate happiness."

In a recent commentary based on the examples included in The Lord of the Rings, Brother Cassian Mary Iozzo, O.P., reflected on how the dual temptation to domination and invisibility is opposed by fellowship, seeking authentic communion with others.
