Profoundly mythic, these teaching stories range from the early saints through to the grandeur of the Round Table and Arthurian tradition. Shaw emphasises these stories as remerging providentially on time for the perils of modern life. Filled with vocation, sacrifice, and courage, these are an inheritance many of us simply didn’t know we had.🔗 All links: https://linktr.ee/jonathanpageau 💻 Website and blog: http://www.thesymbolicworld.com🔒 BECOME A PATRON: https://thesymbolicworld.com/subscribe ---Timestamps:00:00 - Coming up00:46 - Intro music01:12 - Start03:04 - A corrective to the Universal History series12:05 - The 12 apostles of Ireland14:19 - St. Brendan21:25 - Fun stories about St. Brendan39:26 - Next episode of the Voyage of St. Brendan46:13 - The foundation of a church49:09 - How to keep the liturgical calendar56:14 - The torment of Judas01:04:30 - Did Brendan go to North America?---📱 SOCIAL MEDIA  Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/TheSymbolicWorld Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/pageaujonathan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathan.pageauOur website designers: https://www.resonancehq.io/ My intro was arranged and recorded by Matthew Wilkinson.
