Crawling back to God

March 28, 2022 | By Valerie Pavilonis MC ‘22

When I realized this, I felt a cosmic shock. I have always been able to imagine God behind me, His hand on my shoulder. When I realized I felt an absence instead, another layer of panic, deeper and stronger than ever before, added itself to my existing anxieties.

Love is the Thing with Lightning

Sept 15, 2020 | Raquel Sequeira TD ‘21+.5

The world always darkens before a storm. Not just the sky, but the air itself, as if someone has flipped the switch for dusk too early. Every blade of grass seems to inhale with excitement and fear. For me, that excitement and fear is partially a memory: of a violent wind sweeping from the yellow sky into the New Haven streets as raindrops begin to fall on me and the boy beside me; of darting into the library just as a tree branch crashes behind us; of my heart racing like the wind and my mind crackling like the lightning and every word I say filling the air between us like a cloud ready to burst.

Response to Sutherland Springs Shooting

Nov 15, 2017 | By Christian Olivier TC ’20

I am writing this right after the news report flashes across my computer screen. It is 2:32 p.m. on November 5, 2017.

“Mass shooting reported at Sutherland Springs church in Texas.”

This… This was the gut punch that knocked the wind out of my lungs as I come to grips with the fact that all of this horror happened in three months.

Armored in Light

Oct 23, 2016 | By Anna Heckler '18

When I was in kindergarten, I would joke with my dad about the gun under his bed. Can I get a gun license someday, Dad? I pleaded with him. When can I go deer hunting with you? By the time I was about ten, my eagerness to join the world of gun-holders began to falter. At age twelve, it was my father’s turn to joke with me. So when can we get your junior hunting license? He prodded. When can I teach you how to shoot?

Till We Have Faces

By Raquel Sequeira, TD ‘21. Raquel is majoring in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry.

Lent is a season to face up to temptation and the fear of isolation, as Jesus did in the desert. Lent is a time to put trust in the desperate hope that if God truly incarnated Himself, He will do it again—that if He truly showed me His face, as I believe He did, He will do it again.
