Our concern for the formation of virtue, giving college students the skills to live life well, will make for a better university experience and help form a hopeful culture and world. Our willingness to partner in this all too important work of campus ministry will pursue the following goals for tens of thousands of students for the next 100 years:

• Help build a broad based value at NDSU • Promote the pursuit of excellence in the mind, body and soul of every student • Help build a deeper engagement in university life through faith based relationships • Form tomorrow’s leaders today!

The transition our of high school into what it means to be an adult is often the most important movement in our lives. Your willingness to be a part of that journey means thousands of students will have the opportunity to experience the gift of our faith as an intellectually valid approach for the meaning of life and the search for human happiness. Every young adult deserves the opportunity to discover the empowerment of faith instead of the spectrum of confusion the secular mystique affords university life. I will forever be thankful before God for all of eternity for your willingness to help us put our best effort for the faith at a time the majority of our young adults will decide against the faith. Campus ministry remains the most efficient and effective means for changing hearts and forming future leaders so needed for our Church and state today! Thank you for caring about what happens when the majority of our young adults go to a state university. I look forward to working with you and every young adult to fan the flame of faith into a burning fire that will build a culture of life and make the world a better place to live God and our neighbor.

St. Paul Portraits of Christian Evangelists “And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God.” [Ephesians 6:17]

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” [2 Corinthians 5:17, St. Paul]

St. Paul was a convert whose message to the world was that we are saved entirely by God, not by anything we can do. Saving faith is the gift of having a free, loving and personal commitment to Christ. This commitment then bears fruit in works that overflow into God’s creation.

These two converts who so eloquently taught and instructed our faith shed light on the meaning of truth and Christ’s role in our lives.

Ambo The Empty Tomb, Proclamation of the Good News

The General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM) makes a striking claim: “[W]hen the Sacred Scriptures are read in the Church, God himself speaks to His people, and Christ, present in His Word, proclaims the Gospel.” [No. 29] The church furnishings take part in this sacramental rite. The altar, for instance, represents Christ as the Anointed One standing amidst His people. Similarly, the ambo is more than a reading desk that conveniently holds liturgical books. It signifies and magnifies the importance of the “living and effective” Word of God proclaimed in the liturgy, through which Christ “sanctifies humanity and offers the Father perfect worship.” The ambo signifies the rediscovery and return of the liturgically celebrated proclamation of Christ’s presence in the scriptures to the people of God. It is no mere functional book stand, but holds significant theological import as a signifier of the importance of scripture itself.

PAUL’S NEWMAN CENTER Memorial Opportunities ENTRANCE Total Sponsorship Holy Water Fonts $4,500.00 Our Baptismal Promise from God By making the sign of the cross with holy water (in the name of the “Father, Son and Holy Spirit”) when we enter the church, we remind ourselves of the baptismal promise made to us by God. The blessing of holy water becomes the method by which we remind ourselves that through baptism God has adopted us as His children. We are reconnecting with the mystery of the sacrament of baptism by which we obtained dignity, knowing we are now members of the divine family of God. We are grafted onto the Body of Christ, becoming “temples of the Holy Spirit.” [1 Corinthians 6:19] As we enter the church and prepare to worship God through the liturgy, we want our minds and hearts to be pure, to be purified from sin and selfishness. This gesture is a way of giving physical and material expression to this desire for repentance and purification. Holy water fonts at the entrance to our churches symbolize the difference between ordinary space and sacred space. We leave behind the worldly noise and confusion that surrounds our everyday activities, and we are refreshed and renewed by the order, silence, reverence, and beauty of the sacred space, the space used only for prayer and worship.

PAUL’S NEWMAN CENTER Memorial Opportunities APPOINTMENTS Paschal Candle The Light of the World The paschal candle is the symbol of “the light of Christ, rising in glory,” scattering “the darkness of our hearts and minds.” [Built of Living Stone, p. 22] The candle represents Christ as He is the Light of the World. The pure beeswax of which the candle is made represents the sinless Christ Who was formed in the womb of His Mother. The wick signifies His humanity; the flame, His Divine Nature, both soul and body. Five grains of incense inserted into the candle in the form of a cross recall the aromatic spices with which His Sacred Body was prepared for the tomb and the five wounds in His hands, feet, and side. During the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday night, the priest or deacon carries the candle in procession into the dark church. A new fire, symbolizing our eternal life in Christ, is kindled and lights the candle. The candle, representing Christ Himself, is blessed by the priest, who then inscribes in it a cross, the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet (Alpha and Omega, “the beginning and the end”), and the current year, as he chants the prayer below; he then affixes the five grains of incense.

Sanctuary Lamp God is Present Among Us Sanctuary lamps originate from the Old Testament. God commanded that a lamp filled with the purest oil of olives should always burn in the Tabernacle: “Command the children of Israel that they bring thee the purest oil of the olives (…) that a lamp may burn always, in the tabernacle of the testimony (…) that it may give light before the Lord until the morning. It shall be a perpetual observance throughout their successions among the children of Israel.” [Exodus 27:20-21] Therefore the Temple in Jerusalem had a perpetually burning sanctuary lamp. To continue this ancient tradition, the Church prescribes that at least one lamp should continually burn before the tabernacle (Rit. Rom. iv, 6), not only as an ornament of the altar, but for the purpose of worship. The sanctuary lamp, also called a chancel lamp, is placed before the tabernacle or ambry in Roman Catholic churches as a sign that the Lord is present. The lamp is fueled by oil (or wax) and burns continuously. This symbolizes our honor and respect to the presence of Christ among us. It is also a profession of love and affection because the candlelight represents our Lord, Who is the “true light which enlighteneth every man.” [John 1:9]

St. Paul Honoring Christian Values

St. Paul, for whom the Newman Chapel for NDSU is named, was sent with a mission to convert the Gentiles to turn and worship the one true God. His writings and letters make up almost half of the New Testament, giving him strong prominence among the founders of Christianity and our Church. Paul’s words enlightened those navigating the new waters of Christianity. His words were inspired by God’s grace to help us on our journey to obtain salvation and eternal life. We celebrate him today and are thankful for the influence he has had on so many souls being redeemed to God. The early Christians relied on Paul’s words for guidance on how to live good Christian lives. In Paul, God sent our Christian brotherhood a spiritual leader who exemplified what Christ taught.

The Holy Family Honoring Christian Values

The Holy Family provides a model for Christian life. Joseph and Mary lived the Christian virtues before they were described as “Christian.” They were an active, loving, mobile, event-seeking, carpentry- working, wedding-celebrating, gather-your cousins-and go-to-temple family. We see how this foundation gave Christ His ability to present His mother to humanity as their “mother,” and to present His earthly father Joseph to us as the patron saint of the Church. Because Joseph gave Christ protection and care unconditionally when He was weak and innocent, Joseph became a model for men just as Mary became a model for women. They became models for us through Christ because of their active participation in God’s will. Christ made us His brothers and sisters, one body in one Lord, one family in Christ. Christ knew that every family needs important values to live by to be happy, to get along, to love one another, and to help one another. The start of our Christian journey begins with The Holy Family. The Holy Family gives to humanity a love unlike any other. They gave us their son, Jesus, thereby adopting us all into God’s heavenly kingdom for eternal life.

HOLY ROOD STATUE Memorial Holy Rood $252,400.00 Christ’s Pascal Mystery “The cross with the image of Christ crucified is a reminder of Christ’s paschal mystery. It draws us into the mystery of suffering and makes tangible our belief that our suffering when united with the Passion and death of Christ leads to redemption.” [Built of Living Stone, pg. 21] “’Woman, behold thy son.’ Then, he said to the disciple, ‘Behold thy mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her to his own (home).” [John 19:26-27] • They are joined by the love they have for the One that is on the cross. Love convoked them to be present at a painful hour, but they are standing by Him steadfast at his side. • Standing is the witness position. The word for “witness” in Greek is martyrs. A witness is ready to testify whatever the consequences may be, even if he/she has to give his/her own life. For Jesus standing on the cross is the witness of the love of the Father for Himself and for humanity. • Mary and John are reminding us to stand strong and be witnesses to Christ’s death and resurrection.
