Gerard Manley Hopkins only lived a short life and he never published a single poem during his lifetime. However, this intense and brilliant Jesuit priest revolutionised forever how poetry was written and laid the foundations for twentieth-century poetry. He is arguably the greatest religious poet of all time, and yet some psychiatrists also believe that nobody wrote about depression with such penetrating insight as he did. He was a true manic genius. The theory of ‘inscape’ underpinned lots of his poetic philosophy and inspired such greats as Tolkien. In this talk, Tony will open up the wondrous world of Hopkins for us.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

1. THE ART WAS ALWAYS YOURS
The more stringently you tried to attempt it; the more abominably it ran away from
you; eluding you like the wail of the surreptitiously wailing fox,
The more austerely you searched for it; the more abhorrently it shirked you; cold
bloodedly kicking you on your; intricately silken hindside,
The more incorrigibly you wanted it; the more salaciously it whipped you;
pugnaciously repelling you till realms beyond infinite infinity; to wander in a
land of worthless nothingness,
The more indefatigably you chased it; the more viciously it stabbed you; sporadically
appearing right before your eyes; but unfortunately never being only yours,
The more intractably you tried to follow it; the more venomously did it fox you;
rendering you gasping for breath and life; as you miserably staggered upon every
step,
The more intransigently you stared at it; the more manipulatively it got more and
more inconspicuous in size; literally blinding you to grope in a tunnel of gruesomely
hapless darkness,
The more forcefully you tried to evolve it; the more ludicrously it jeered you; making
meaningless mockery of your charismatic persona; in front of the entire Universe
outside,
The more stubbornly you tried to assimilate it; the more smoothly it vanished from
your impregnably clenched fists; handsomely soaring abreast the satiny clouds; while
you spat angrily at your very own reflection,
The more resolutely you tried to capture it; the more rebelliously it slapped you; as
you pathetically swooned for times immemorial upon treacherously cold ground,
The more greedily you tried to savor it; the more triumphantly it escaped from your
mind for infinite more yet to come; leaving you to stagnate; in a ghastly corpse of
remorseful morbidity,
The more possessively you tried to embrace it; the more congenially it blended with
every other entity on this fathomless planet; except your ardently yearning soul,
The more obsessively you tried to chant it; the more heinously it slipped from the
very center of your tongue; dumbing you perpetually; to bear the tyranny of the
murderously savage world outside,
2. The more irretrievably you tried to cherish it; the more it started to fade like an
obsolete mirage from the whites of your eye; as you ridiculously ended up
relinquishing the last iota of breath; for its priceless sake,
The more fervently you tried to pray for it; the more it made sure that it would reside
in another dwelling and not yours; submerging you forever in whirlpools
of disastrously gory darkness,
The more iteratively you tried to make it a fanatic part of your religion; the more it
deserted you like the flames desert the crumbling matchstick; making sure that your
entity coalesced only with raw dust,
The more tirelessly you tried to conquer it; the more irascibly surreptitious it became;
enticing you like a nubile princess beside its seductive grace; before eventually making
you taste maliciously stinking pig skin on the obdurate ground,
The more insanely you tried to make it an integral element of your breath; the more
violently it shrugged your shivering visage; hatefully hurling you back to the very
place; where you belonged before you were born,
The more cleverly you tried to bond it with every of your lackadaisically penurious
beats; the more it dolorously dulled even the most infinitesimal trace of energy in
your chest; as you asked the Lord to condone you from; devastatingly penalizing
death,
It was unfortunately unlike other things in life; which when you tried the hardest for;
would eventually and forever be yours,
For all you had to do was uninhibitedly open the chords of your mind; heart and soul;
breathe naturally in symbiotic conjunction with God’s bountiful Universe; and Lo!
Behold; the greatest artist poured out from your beautiful countenance; and the art
that had always beguiled you previously; was now and timelessly; always yours.
