G.K. Chesterton

I'm kind of taking the "by any means necessary" approach at this point. I figure if enough raw material is provided- Mary will melt his heart and turn his gaze to her Son.
He's a big Tolkien fan, so I think he'd like Chesterton.

Get him a copy and if he doesn't read it, hit him over the head with it.

Galadriel is a wonderful character - the Blessed Mother.
Its evident in the books and you can even see some of her intercessory powers in the movie, esp. the last one.

Thank the scriptwriters for that, because in removing the prayer to Elbereth (the Queen of Heaven), they emphasised the role of Galadriel.

They also gave us "look for me on fifth day" in TTT, a reference to the traditional monastic prayer of Lauds on 21 December, just before the longest, darkest night of the year:

Nolite timere: quinta enim die veniet ad vos Dominus noster (Be not afraid, for upon the fifth day our Lord shall come to you).

A Christmas reference, in other words! Not something Tolkien wrote, but something he might have written.
