Thirty-third Sunday Ambition seems to have no place in a discussion about our spirituality. Setting goals and in Ordinary Time listing priorities sounds appropriate when we're referring to our academic and professional careers, but it sounds funny when applied to our faith. Funny-sounding or not, our spiritual Weekend Presiders lives demand the same kind of deliberateness from us that we invest in our other pursuits. Lest we meander about on our journeys of faith with no destination in mind, we must chart our Basilica of the Sacred Heart own spiritual development just like we map out our semester class schedule: unsure of what Saturday, November 18 Mass we'll learn but certain of its importance. 5:00p.m. Each of us must set about determining what it is we need to help us deepen our own Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, c.s.c. relationship with God and our understanding of our faith. We must seek out the people and resources that can help us. We must set aside regular time to spend nourishing our faith and Sunday, November 19 Mass nurturing an intimacy with God. We must actively participate with others in prayer and lO:OOa.m. worship. We must commit ourselves to living out the Gospels everyday, in small ways and in Rev.

Talk to a trusted friend, priest, rector, or Campus Minister if you need a jump start. Whatever you do, make it mean something that you graduated from Notre Dame. Take advantage of our rich Catholic tradition while you're still here. Do what it takes to leave here with a firm grounding in your faith and a closer relationship with God.
