“God’s Grandeur” by Gerard Manley Hopkins

July 28 marks the 179th anniversary of the birth of Gerard Manley Hopkins, the celebrated English Jesuit priest who is considered one of the most influential poets of the 19th century.

To celebrate Hopkins’s birthday, the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States commissioned me to create a comics adaptation of one of his most famous sonnets, “God’s Grandeur.”

If you would like to get a free copy of the full four-page comics adaptation, you can do so by signing up to the Jesuits’ website via this link: https://www.jesuits.org/hopkins/

    Poetry itself, as a human creation, already manifests the grandeur of God our Father and Creator of all Nature.
