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. I will compare her work to David's and share some history of this wonderful poet. Later in the episode, we will be blessed by the Mission Sisters of the Holy Spirit. A few years ago I conducted several interviews with these amazing ladies and share with you a special moment from my last meeting with them before COVID. They are religious sisters of the Catholic Diocese of Saginaw, Michigan. Thank you for tuning in to the show.
