King David and Sappho of Lesbos: A Happy Comparison

This episode contains a reading of Psalm 31, a psalm that brings to mind the crucifixion of Jesus. I will share a reading from the poetry of Sappho, a Greek poetess of the year 600 B.C.E.

They are religious sisters of the Catholic Diocese of Saginaw, Michigan. Thank you for tuning in to the show. Please consider sharing the show with someone you love and especially with those you are learning to love. : ) Books mentioned in this episode: Sappho translated by Mary Barnard For more information about me and my work, please visit http://www.brianneturczynski.com or http://www.lovingtheimperfect.com
