just as
Christ
was
raised
from
the
dead
by the glory of the Father, so we
too might walk in newness of life.
*John Keble, 1782-1866,
English priest
author of the book of poetry
The Christian Year
one of which is the hymn
“New Every Morning is the Love
If we had to choose a leader for a movement of renewal in the Church, my guess is that a shy, reserved professor of poetry would not be at the top of our list of likely candidates. We see in him the transfiguring power of quiet attentiveness to the One who creates us, calls us, binds up our wounds and loves us unceasingly, in the midst of what Keble called “the trivial round, the common task” From a sermon on John Keble on the website“Catholicity and Covenant”
