This week in Scéal Éireann, we reflect on the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins and his remarkable ability to find the presence of God in the natural world.
In The Windhover, Hopkins watches a kestrel riding the morning wind and discovers something far greater than the beauty of the bird itself. Through images of fire, light, and transformation, he explores a profound Christian truth: that surrender is not a loss of ourselves, but an opening towards something greater.
From the brilliance of creation to the glory revealed through Christ's Passion, we consider how sometimes it is only when we let go that the deeper light within us can shine.
