BY CHRISTOPHER LUSHIS

NOTRE DAME — “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, this is our Christian vocation.” Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades offered this challenging reminder to those present at the South Bend Red Mass, celebrated on Oct. 6 at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, in honor of all those who work in the legal profession. The Red Mass, which Bishop Rhoades celebrates on each end of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend annually, derives its name from the red vestments worn by the priest, which represent both the tongues of fire of the Holy Spirit and the scarlet robes traditionally worn by justices from the 13th cen- tury, when the feast was first estab- lished. Notre Dame Law School faculty and students participated during the special ceremony as lec- tors, ushers and gift bearers. Throughout the Mass, Bishop Rhoades invoked the Holy Spirit to bestow His gifts of wisdom, courage and right judgment upon all lawyers, PHOTO BY MATT CASHORE/UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME judges and those serving in civic Bishop Kevin C.
