A Talk by Jennifer Hubbard
St. Paul Roman Catholic Church
Wednesday October 30th at 7:30 pm
Jennifer Hubbard faced the worst crisis a parent
could face when she lost her 6-year old daughter
Catherine Violet during the 2012 Sandy Hook
Elementary School shooting. Since that tragic day,
she has turned to her faith in search of peace.
Jennifer will share how her faith has been
transformed and how she has found spiritual
strength by focusing on His very real presence in
her life.
She is a monthly contributor for The Magnificat.
Her essays focus on God’s healing presence and
His faithfulness. She is the recipient of a 2014 and
2015 Catholic Press Awards and has had her work
published in Fairfield County Catholic and shares
her message with audiences across the country.

FROM MY HEART TO YOURS
Francis Thompson (16 December 1859 – 13 November 1907 / Preston, England) is the English poet who
wrote the all-time spiritual classic “Hound of Heaven.” I spoke about it during my homily at Sunday’s
10.30 AM Mass. (It’s not John Milton, sorry. Paradise Lost is John Milton’s magnum opus) “The Hound of
Heaven” is a poem centering on the pursuit of a sinner by a loving God. Written in a lofty, dignified style
that expresses deep feelings, it is classified as an ode. It first appeared in Poems, a collection of Francis
Thompson's works published in 1893. Out of 182 lines of the Hound of Heaven, here I quote the few lines
from the beginning and a few lines at the conclusion.
I fled Him down the nights and down the days, I fled him down the arches of the years, I fled Him down the
labyrinthine ways, Of my own mind, and in the midst of tears, I hid from him, and under running laugh-
ter…………
…….....Rise, clasp my hand, and come, Halts by me that Footfall. Is my gloom, after all, Shade of His
hand, outstretched caressingly? Ah, Fondest, Blindest, Weakest, I am He whom thou seekest. Thou dravest
(drive) Love from thee who dravest Me. (Bartleby.com)
‘Fleeing away’ and ‘hiding’ from the creator began with Adam and Eve. God found them, called them and
promised them redemption. In Jesus Christ that promise was fulfilled.
The next book I mentioned at all homilies was “Practice of the Presence of God” by Brother Lawrence of
the Resurrection (born as Nicolas Herman) a 17th century Carmelite Hermit. Brother Lawrence related that
we should establish in ourselves a sense of God’s Presence by continually conversing with Him. Brother
Lawrence said that the worst that could happen to him was to lose that sense of God which he had enjoyed
for so long. Yet the goodness of God assured him He would not forsake him utterly and that He would give
him strength to bear whatever evil He permitted to happen to him. Brother Lawrence, therefore, said he
feared nothing. Brother Lawrence never advanced beyond being the cook at the Paris monastery, but he de-
veloped the unique gift of being able to pray incessantly with God throughout the entire day and regardless
of whatever else he was doing.
The other book I had mentioned was another spiritual classic, “The Pilgrim’s Progress” by John Bunyan of
the 17th century time of puritanism.” The entire book is presented as a dream sequence narrated by
an omniscient narrator. The allegory's protagonist, Christian, is an everyman character, and the plot centers
on his journey from his hometown, the "City of Destruction" ("this world"), to the "Celestial City" ("that
which is to come": Heaven) atop Mount Zion. Christian is weighed down by a great burden—the
knowledge of his sin—which he believed came from his reading "the book in his hand" (the Bible). This
burden, which would cause him to sink into Hell, is so unbearable that Christian must seek deliverance. He
meets ‘Evangelist’ as he is walking out in the fields, who directs him to the "Wicket Gate" for deliverance.
Since Christian cannot see the "Wicket Gate" in the distance, Evangelist directs him to go to a "shining
light," which Christian thinks he sees. (Courtesy: Wikipedia)
Thank you all, especially to those who attend the special Mass of my Installation as your Pastor 10.30 AM.
Stay tuned to the Holy Spirit!
May God bless the whole world!
