A Devotional Project Honoring J.R.R. Tolkien’s Faith
A Gentle Explanation
This website is a heartfelt, lay-led initiative born from a deep appreciation for J.R.R. Tolkien’s profound Catholic faith and the virtuous example he set throughout his life. Our purpose is purely devotional: to provide a space for reflection, prayer, and the exploration of Tolkien’s spiritual legacy.
We aim to gather and share resources that illuminate his deep commitment to the Eucharist, his understanding of Catholic theology, and the ways in which his faith permeated his life and literary creations. This is a place for those who find spiritual inspiration in Tolkien’s journey and wish to honor his memory through prayer and contemplation.
Some Important Clarification
It is crucial to understand that this project is not affiliated with the Vatican, any official Diocesan body, or any formal process for canonization (sainthood) within the Catholic Church.
We are not promoting an official “cause” for J.R.R. Tolkien’s sainthood. Such processes are complex, lengthy, and solely under the authority of the Church. Our initiative is one of private devotion and appreciation, intended to foster personal spiritual growth inspired by Tolkien’s example.
Any prayers or intercessions shared here are expressions of personal faith and hope, and should not be misconstrued as part of an official ecclesiastical investigation or endorsement.
Our Hope
We hope this space serves as a source of encouragement and inspiration for all who admire J.R.R. Tolkien, not only as a master storyteller but as a man of deep and abiding faith. May his example lead us closer to the truths he cherished.
