Calendar of Events The Coin

Power Lunch: It is just a little custom, something that I got into the habit of doing after my Sacrament of Marriage first trip to Ireland. If you've ever been to a foreign country, you know that a Thursday, November 14 hazard of the trip will be a pocket of odd coins, completely useless upon 12:45-1:45 pm your return home. Faculty Dining Room Here is my custom: For years, I would manage to keep one of those coins in my pocket, and every May before the Folk Choir made an overseas African American musical tour, I would go down to the Grotto, take that coin that I'd been Senior Reflection hanging onto, and say a prayer to Mary. I figured it was most appropriate to Friday, November 15 pray to the Mother of God before a pilgrimage; to the woman who knew 9-11 pm Meditation Room exile and pilgrimage so well. As a mother, she more than any would keep Center for Social Concerns her daughters and sons safe on the road. For several excursions I kept this habit of dropping a single Irish Interdenominational coin into the slot at the Grotto and lighting my candle, whispering a prayer Thanksgiving Prayer Service for safe passage at the same time. But as so often happens, life came along Tuesday, November19 and interrupted this little ritual, for after the third trip to Ireland 7:30pm with the choir, my father passed away. Chapel of the Holy Cross I remember my last moments with the earthly temple which I had known to be my Dad. Mter all the grieving and crying by the family, in that Kairos: Thanksgiving Prayer precarious moment when the coffin was shut, I asked the funeral director Wednesday, November 20 for a last few moments alone with him (I am the eldest son and figured it 7:30pm was my due, after all the experiments that came my way because of this dubi­ Chapel of .the Holy Cross ous honor). I asked that the casket be opened one last time. I prayed to Mary, and to God, that Dad would have safe pilgrimage to a place in their Power Lunch: The Spirit of Advent presence. And then, for some reason known only to the author of all com­ Thursday, Novernber 21 passion, I reached into my pocket. My hand came across something that 12:45-1:45 pm ·~ ·· · I had been saving: a single Irish coin. I took it out, and placed it in the Faculty Dining Room pocket of Dad's suit coat. "For your journey," I said. Then I closed the coffin. Five years have passed since that moment, and the choir has made at least one trip abroad during that time. Once, a friend of mine, on hearing my story of the coin, placed one in my hands that my little custom might continue. But upon leaving Ireland in 1994, having many charges on my hands and little time to my own, once again I found myself without an offer­ ing to make in May, a little token for the lighting of a candle in a cave. Then last week, I had the opportunity to be in Dublin for the Thirty-third Sunday in Football Game Across the Pond. And as fate would have it, I was there for Ordinary Time the Feast of All Hallows. There, on a cold and blustery autumn night as little goblins scampered around the neighborhood pleading for nuts and fruit Weekend Presiders and an occasional Cadbury bar, I sat for my evening meal with old friends. Basilica of the Sacred Heart Anne Marie had made cuilkullin, a traditional meal for Halloween made from potatoes (what else?), kale and onions. I could hear the wind outside. Saturday, November 16 I thought of my own children celebrating Halloween across the Atlantic. Half hour after game But here is the thing that brought the night to life for me. As I was Most Rev. Daniel Buechlein, D.D. sitting down to my meal, I happened to glance down at the plate, and there, slightly hidden by the vegetable-laden dish, was a bright new Irish twopence. 45 minutes after game at Stepan When I asked my hostess whence came this little monetary offering, she Center Richard V. Warner, C.S.C. offered me up a mysterious smile and said, "You know, on the Feast of All Hallows the Irish have been known to keep their doors unlocked, that the Sunday, November 17 souls of our ancestors may come in and sit and warm themselves by the fire 8 a.m. and gather strength for the rest of their journey." Rev. James Rigert, C.S.C. Of course, you may think, it was my gracious hostess that put the 10 a.m. coin on my supper plate. But whom, may I ask, put the thought in her head? Most Rev. John M. D'Arcy, D.D. Or linked these two symbols so preciously together in my life? You may see 11:45 a.m. the story as you wish. I, for my part, see the hand of God at work. Rev. E. William Beauchamp, C.S.C. Here we are in November, the month wherein we keep holy the memory of our ancestors, those who have gone before us marked with a sign Scripture Readings of faith. I can tell you this: the marks are living and vivid and real. I see those for this coming Sunday that go before me, woven in little symbolic ways, threaded through my life in First Reading: Proverbs 31:10-13 a tapestry that surrounds me and supports me and keeps me warm. When Second Reading: I doubt my father's safety, when I wonder where are the souls of those whom 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6 I love but now cannot touch, it is somewhat easier to remember them when Gospel: Matthew 25:14-30 I think of how my father, and my Father, visited me through the gift of a simple coin.
