Sunday Morning Adult Education
Finding God in all Creation:
The Sacramental Poetics of Gerard Manley Hopkins, S.J.
Presented by Victor Judge
11am-12pm on June 7, 14, 21, and 28
To commemorate the 175th anniversary of the birth of the Jesuit priest-poet Gerard Manley Hopkins, the Adult Formation Class at Christ the King Parish will devote the month of June to studying the prosody of this nineteenth-century British literary-theologian who aspired to reveal the sacramental properties of nature and to translate these revelations into verses that have been described as “verbal arabesques.” As proclaimed in the nineteenth psalm, “The heavens declare the glory of God, the vault of heaven proclaims His handiwork; day discourses of it to day; night to night hands on the knowledge.” We shall study Hopkins’ verses as his “discourse” with the Mystery of Creation, and we shall draw correlations between themes in Hopkins’ canon and in Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home. The lecturer will be Victor Judge, assistant dean for academic affairs at Vanderbilt University Divinity School.
