Gerard Manley Hopkins, the great English Jesuit poet, was probably the first person to make “Easter” a verb. In his first poem he wrote: “Let him easter in us, be a dayspring to the dimness of us.” Easter isn’t simply a noun, an event that happened 2000 years ago. It’s an action that in Christ is meant to happen every day in each of us – if we let it happen. Where do I need to let him easter in me??
