JRRT is a well of wisdom for anyone, not just for graduates!
From Aleteia
By Cerith Gardiner
Look to this literary great for some wise advice.
It’s not a surprise that Catholic author J.R.R. Tolkien is as popular today as he was when his first major works were published in 1937. His wisdom, faith, and language skills are both inspiring and educational. In fact, his reflections should accompany any young adult stepping out into the world today — especially one full of such uncertainty and stress.
So to accompany the graduates in your life on their exciting adventures ahead, look to these wise words of the English writer. Let him bring reassurance, common sense, and an appreciation of the unknown into their future, while also reminding them that God is always by their side.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
