Simply marvelous. One, I might one day might work up the guts to email him Been following him for quite a while, especially about music.

"Teasing out his inner meanings" mayhaps draw his inner dragon. Beware, Entranced Morsel!

Thank you to Mr Ayers and the two fellows who invited him to come speak. It's hard for me to think of a lecture I've heard that was as thorough in its scholarship and treatment of its subject as it was inspired and inspiring. Mr Ayers' deep respect for his subject is palpable throughout and the illumination he brings to Hopkins' life and work, and his personal engagement with earlier critics, and his movement in and out of Hopkins' own words is so fluid, so clearly articulated that I found myself riveted. The hour spent listening to him was truly delightful! Hopkins' poetry is some of the greatest I've read, if not in fact THE greatest. I have continued to read and think about him since I first read "Pied Beauty" in high school. He has exerted a powerful influence on my writing, and I'd like to say I'm better off because of it, though I'd never try to imitate him. That would be silly and impossible. For me, he occupies a peak of poetic achievement all his own--the originality of his language, his peerless craft, and the powerful spiritual and natural energy and feeling he infuses into his work. And that he dedicated himself to all this alongside his religious devotion and work as a teacher, despite all the inner struggle, hardship, the lack of artistic recognition... I can't think of any poet whose work makes a more compelling case for the dynamism of a religious life, a Christian life, than his. For a moment, I almost considered changing my heathen ways... Thanks again to Mr Ayers and Mr Hopkins! There's hope for me yet.

Such a beautiful lecturer, Mr Ayers read Gerard Manley- Hopkins's poetry with such sensitivity teasing out the inner meanings.

I listened for almost 30 minutes, and he didn't get to the point, yet.

It’s always interesting to hear the more puritanical Catholic thinkers blame America for all the evils hurled at the Catholic Church...And yet, us Catholics where more people than willing to greedily grasp at the material benefits of being an American, whether it’s corn and wheat donated to Catholic Ireland in the 1850s, the American destruction of the Barbary slavers, or the mere fact of existing when Catholics where driven from their European homes by despots and famine. Gratitude is out of the question. Instead, we hold America against the idealized standard of perfection applied to no other country on earth.

Wonderful. Thank you!

Thanks very much for this beautiful lecture ….poetry from the depth of heart

You explain it all so beautifully. I loved listening to this lecture.

I wrote my MA thesis on Gerard Manley Hopkins' Sprung rhythm, "To What Serves Mortal Beauty"in 1956. I was 20 and totally loved Hopkins' poetics.

This is a beautiful lecture - the best brief introduction to O'Connor I've encountered. It's a model that should be imitated.

I listen to it in December of 2024. After nearly two years of Covid-19, it sound quite true and chilling.

The book referenced prior to the lecture?

God bless and keep you, dear Mr Ayers for this soul-filling presentation. Claudette Lemyre

The lecturer is a simp who may have no real faith!

AH, CHICKEN REVERAND JOHN, FINALLY FIND ONE OF YOUR SQUARES OF INFORMATION ENABLED FOR COMMENT. YOU SPOKE PERHAPS ON YAHOO REGARDING DEMONS NAVIGATING THE INTERNET, IT IS TRUE, THE COMPUTER IS THE DEVIL BOX, AND AS YOU KNOW SO IS THE CELL PHONE, TRUMP BEING A DEMON ALSO COMMUNICATES WITH QANON A SORT OF PYS-OPS GROUP OF GAMES TO CONFUSE AND HYPNOTIZE. YOU SUBSCRIBE TO THESE THINGS???? GUESS WHAT THEN. 1/28/21

This depiction of Hopkins accelerates my determination to encourage others to journal in Nature so as to arrive at a deep awareness of Presence within and to be enfolded

A brilliant illuminating lecture. Thank you.

What an elegant and wise and moving overview of this beloved and quietly heroic author whose work continues to reverberate!

Professor Pestana is amazing

Jesus Christ alone is saviour and Lord. Him alone is saviour and head of his church, his body of people faithful to him alone. The Holy spirit is his vicar or representative on earth. The pagan Roman Catholic Church is man made and if you truly respect ad scriptures their practices are opposed to it

I am grateful for this explanation, better late than never. His Poetry was always too much of everything all at once, well documented by Mr. Ayers. I am now prepared, able, to see his greatness. Thank You. As for the parents of the child making a perfect presentation distracting at times, they were tolerated beyond what was reasonable. Awful behavior. And typical.

Now I want to obtain O’Connor’s prayer book. Thank you for sharing.❤️

Beautiful talk. Thank you

"You are Peter and on this rock I will build MY CHURCH" The only Church Jesus called "MY CHURCH" is the Catholic Church! and it is HIS CHURCH, only HIS CHURCH that is necessary for salvation. Otherwise even the devil will be saved for the bible says the devils believes and he trembles.

Pure, unadulterated catholic truth. The ground of our faith. Thank you!!!

A Great Story Is a Great Life, Thank You For Giving Us This Story, It Is Amazing? Like The Reader Is.

Catholicism can ntot save you,only Jesus Christ and his death on the cross

42:12 - "So, how do you recruit? Well, you promise 'em some loot!" Best line, great talk

Beyond exemplary. Thankyou. A soul strengthening lecture.

I'm Catholic and still Catholic 😍 Not because a priest or bishop or Pope etc...all 'cause my Lord Jesus choose me..and I will walk in Love with Jesus be salt and light to the world. Lord have mercy on us. Amen Greetings from Indonesia

good lecture...but anyone else notice how he practically glows white?

.. and how beautiful is that picture of Jesus he drew... the first time ever from that perspective....We love you Almighty Father! aleteia.org/2017/09/22/discover-the-crucifix-drawn-by-saint-john-of-the-cross-after-a-mystical-vision/

You burn for Flannery as passionately as a 747 burns jet fuel on take off. And you guide with cockpit precision through Thomism, materialism, enlightenment, supernaturalism, sacramentalism...and you invite us to sit in first class with Bloy and so many others Thank you. Wiseblood has never been so powerfully summarized

Stop with all your false history. Just take care of your tiny little church. Don't disturb us. Any Catholics who have gone astray, please welcome them and live well. We are still the largest Church in the world. Some may be leaving but many are coming in also. We are proud to be Catholic. May your god bless you my dear bro.

catholics GO BACK TO EuROPE WHERE you can set up your dictators like hitler stalin,and worship mao and little kim! God is good and His mercy endures forever FATHER YOU HAVE PROMISED TO HEAL YOUR CHILDREN IN YOUR WILL BY THE STRIPES OF LORD JESUS.ALL GLORY TO THE GREAT I AM thanking him meekly in LORD CHRIST JESUS NAME AMEN When I say that 'I am a Christian', I am not shouting that 'I am clean living. I'm whispering 'I was lost, but now I'm found and forgiven. When I say 'I am a Christian', I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide. When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on. When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess. When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not claiming to be perfect. My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it. When I say 'I am a Christian', I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name. When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not holier than thou, I'm just a simple sinner who received God's grace. THE DECIEVER satan targets your mind satan’s weapon -lies satan’s purpose to make you ignorant of GOD'S WILL YOU’RE DEFENSE -THE INSPIRED WORD OF GOD THE DESTROYER satans target your body satans weapon suffering satans purpose -to make you impatient with GOD'S WILL YOU’RE DEFENSE -THE IMPARTED GRACE OF GOD THE RULER satan's weapon pride satan's purpose to make you independent of GOD'S WILL YOU’RE DEFENSE -THE INDWELLING SPIRIT OF GOD THE ACCUSER satan's target your heart and conscience satan's purpose to bring indictment by GOD'S WILL YOUR DEFENSE THE INTERCEDING SON OF GOD LORD CHRIST JESUS MESSIAH we rebuke satan in LORD CHRIST JESUS NAME AMEN

Being introduced to the poetry of Hopkins was the only positive thing I gained from my secondary education. In the midst of all that oppressive gloom it was the one ray of sunlight. And has consoled me ever since.

No salvation outside of which church ? How can I be saved ?

As you imply, Mr Ayers, Gerard will be a gift to every generation. Thank you for your words and work.

Wow. Most ignored topic on RUclips. imagine that, an actual point to the Christian life.

I really enjoyed this lecture.

You believe what you want to believe and I'll believe what I want to believe! And we will both see one another in Heaven! So, don't pray for me when I die.I willl be praying for you from Heaven! !

catholics are the roman empire 313 constatine and they created the "church" with documents stolen from true CHRISTIANS who they murdered for 2000 or so years!To this day! The reformers followed the closest thing to KING JESUS THEY COULD! The roman catholics rebel against GOD and still murder!DENY deny DENY ,cover up the molestation of children.pick on some one else or get slammed for who you really are a cult of pagans heathens war mongers reprobates and satanist!

This was wonderful! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for this insightful, poetic, beautifully written and loving introduction to Hopkins! What a gift you've given us!

The commission investigators were sent from Rome Nov.1974 to SSPX ...they told them soon priests would be able to marry, the Resurrection was being reinterpreted, that Dogmas could change etc. And they condemn Lefebvre for being disobedient??? & excommunicated....and that the church was not in a state of emergency?? Now look who was right & what a mess things are now...☹

Teriffic insights.
