Magnanimous Musings of Fr. John Robert Skeldon

The Jesuit priest and poet Gerard Manley Hopkins

in his poem The Wreck of the Deutschland wrote of

the tragic loss of life of five Franciscan nuns on a sunken ship called the

Deutschland. At the end of his poem he sees the life that can come from

death, the hope that can come from despair. So he writes, “Let him

(Jesus) Easter in us, be a dayspring to the dimness of us, be a crimson-

cresseted East.” He uses Easter as a verb, as an action. Instead of giv-

ing into despair, the hope is for Jesus to Easter in us. May Easter be the

verb of your lives leading you to Resurrection. Happy Easter!

El sacerdote jesuita y poeta Gerard Manley Hopkins en su poema El

Naufragio del Deutschland escribió sobre la trágica pérdida de vida de

cinco monjas Franciscanas en un barco hundido llamado el Deutsch-

land. Al final de su poema él ve la vida que puede venir de la muerte, la

esperanza que puede venir de la desesperación. Así que, escribe, “Que

Él (Jesús) pascualice en nosotros, que sea un alba en nuestra penumbra

(oscuridad), que sea una luz en el Oriente.” El utiliza la palabra Pascua

como un verbo, como una acción. En vez de darnos a la desesperación,

la esperanza es que Jesús pascualice en nosotros. Que Pascua sea el

verbo de sus vidas guiándolos a la Resurrección. ¡Felices Pascuas!
