Some crew members were injured in the Tuesday evening crash but none of the injuries were considered life threatening, said Maj.

This Week in CAMPUS MINISTRY Campus|Nlinistry Reflections on Lent S3 Coleman-Morse Center • 631-7800 D o n ’t f o r g e t p r a y e r ■ by Fr. Bill W ack c.s.c. ups Director, Freshman Retreat Program Freshman Retreat #40 The season of Lent is already upon us. This is a time for us as individuals and as a church to Retreat dates: February 22-23 discern where we stand with God. In Lent, we focus on how we have strayed from the Gospel call to Applications available: love and service while praying for forgiveness and recommitting ourselves wholeheartedly. We hope January 28 through February 18 to “find our way back” by focusing on the cross of Christ. 114 Coleman-Morse Center What will you do to re-commit yourself to Jesus this Lent? How will you remind yourself of the need to be reconciled with God and the church? How will you mark the next six weeks or so in order 1 * 1 to prepare to celebrate the Pascal Mystery (i.e., the death and resurrection) of Christ? Notre Dame Encounter The traditional Christian practices are especially appropriate for Lent: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. SQ O f those three, fasting seems to get the most attention. Many people “give something up” during this Retreat #70 season as a way of helping them to stay focused on the cross of Christ. People often give up candy, t e e Retreat dates: March 22-24 sweets, snacking in between meals, meat, liquor, TV, video games, and the like.

Spend time in quiet contemplation in a chapel or in the Basilica. Go to the Grotto daily or a couple of times a week. Join a Bible study or a faith sharing group like Emmaus. Commit to doing a retreat. Talk to people around day you about your relationship with God. Eucharistic Adoration There is another form of prayer which is being offered on campus right now: the Liturgy of the Hours. This 11:30 a.m. - 4:45 p.m. prayer has roots that go back hundreds of years and was introduced by monks and nuns. This is a form of public Basilica of the Sacred Heart prayer in which a group of people gather several times a day to pray the Psalms and Scriptures. There are several “hours” of prayer, and perhaps only contemplative religious can “afford” to pray all of them (at least seven times Marriage Preparation Retreat a day!). The reforms of the Church in the 1960s, however, made it clear that all Christians are invited to pray the Friday-Saturday Hours together whenever possible. Fatima Retreat Center For those who pray this liturgy, most come together for two of the Hours: Morning Prayer and Evening Bible Study (in Chinese) Prayer. We in the Congregation of Holy Cross gather at least twice a day to pray these at Old College, Moreau, Corby, Columba Hall, Holy Cross College, and St. Mary’s College, among other local places. Last Fall, several 7:30-9:30 p.m. Call 631-5653 for information. students approached us in Campus Ministry about the possibility of praying Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer together as a student body. We have welcomed the initiative and applaud the efforts of those who have 807 Mass been pursuing this. To that end: I would like to invite you to join us in this daily prayer. Perhaps this could be 8:00 p.m. part of your Lenten commitment to deepen your prayer life? Or maybe this would prove to be an excellent way Lounge, Coleman-Morse Center to start or end your day of classes. ■ - | Beginning yesterday, Morning Prayer is being prayed in the chapel of the Coleman/Morse Center at 8:45am, and Evening Prayer is at 5pm, Monday through Friday. There are books available in the chapel for the prayers, urday and even though the format looks daunting at first, anyone can get the hang of it after a couple of times. The prayers last about 10 or 15 minutes, depending on music or longer Scriptural reflections. You don’t have to Junior Parents’ Weekend Mass worry about standing out in the crowd, as this is a time for communal prayer. Basically, it gives us all a chance 5:30 p.m. to use the gift of the Psalms (the prayer book of Christians) as a way of growing closer to God and each other. Joyce Center Please consider joining us on a regular basis for these prayers. You may very well grow to love this ancient form o f prayer and want to incorporate it into your life forever. It is a privilege to live among so many people of faith on our campuses. May God help us to take advantage of this, bringing us together often to offer Him praise and worship. And may the blessing of Almighty God be with us all during this Lenten season.

Photos courtesy of Miramax Films, Studio Canal and United Artists Both Sissy Spacek and Tom Wilkinson (left) deserve praise for their performances in Todd Field’s “In the Bedroom." David Lynch’s “Mulholland Drive" (middle) was the best film 2001 had to offer, although only the director himself was nominated for an Oscar. Steve Buscemi (right) was unfairly shut out of this year’s Supporting Actor race.

W o m e n ’s Ba s k e t b a l l SMC B a s k e tb a ll Hurting Irish Belles fail to grab a win

By JOE HETTLER Sports W riter

In the days leading up to last night’s battle between Saint Mary’s and Adrian, Belles head coach Suzanne Smith praised her team for their solid defense and improved rebounding in recent wins. Unfortunately for Saint Mary’s, the Belles did neither well last night in a 70-57 con­ ference loss to Adrian. Deidre Mangan and Anne Blair led the Belles in rebounding with only four each as Adrian grabbed a 45- 30 edge in that category. “[Rebounding] was probably DUFFY-MARIE ARNOULT/The Observer one of our biggest weaknesses Irish head coach Muffet McGraw and two members of the Notre Dame training staff huddle around Jacqueline Batteast early tonight,” said Smith. “But it in the second half of Notre Dame’s 66-31 win against St. John’s Wednesday night. started more with our defense, we weren’t matched up so it ♦ Batteast, Bustamante an ice pack on her right knee.
