Episode Details

From the history-making birth of JD Vance’s fourth child to a World Cup victory for Spain and the deaths of American soldiers in the Middle East, the weekend brought news both joyful and tragic. J. R. R. Tolkien coined the word eucatastrophe to describe “the sudden, unexpected turn toward joy that occurs at the darkest moment of a story.” This joy does not erase the sorrow that came before it but passes through it, just as Easter followed the cross. Today, we consider how knowing the end of our story can transform the way we face its darkest chapters.
