Calendar of Events______Hey You Seniors Out There!

Freshmen Retreat #10 o Friday-Saturday, March 21-22 Well, we’ve entered the home stretch. I wish I could provide here some pearl for residents of Alumni, Howard, Keough, of wisdom that could make these final days at Notre Dame all that you would Keenan, Knott, Lyons, Pasquerilla West, have them be. There won’t prove enough time in each day, especially as the o Sorin and Saint Mary’s weather improves, to spend with friends and to visit those places on this cam­ pus which m ean the most to you... much less study! Palm/Passion Sunday Sunday, March 23 As I think back, oh so long ago, on my waning days at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, what I remember most are the late nights spent with Campus Bible Study Tuesday, March 25 those who had come to mean so much to me over the years. The gatheringsC /3I 7:00 p.m. remember with particular fondness weren’t the occasions when we happened Campus Ministry-Badin Hall into one another as we often did in the places we normally frequented. It was those intentional times, those times that we went out of our way to gather and Campus-Wide Stations of the Cross to do something special together, that I remember most now. As our days follwed by Adoration of the Cross and together grew fewer we found ourselves particularly attentive to just such t o Confession gatherings... an overnight at the lakeside cottage of one of our number... a Tuesday, March 25 Mass that we coordinated with a priest friend at one of the off-campus hous­ 7:00 p.m. es... a walk with a friend on the meandering paths beside the Mississippi t o Grotto which borders the campus. Kairos (4th Day) Wednesday, March 26 I remember one night in particular which seems almost corny in the retelling t o 7:30 p.m. but which meant the world to me then... and does still. Eight of us who had Chapel of the Holy Cross been particularly close during our years together at St. Thomas decided that we w eren’t going to leave that place without ritualizing in some way all that we Holy Thursday had known together and celebrate all the ways that we had grown together. Thursday, March 27 Although we were all busy folks, the reality of our imminent departure com­ pelled us to make the time that we seemed never to have. Our schedules dic­ Good Friday t o Friday, March 28 tated that we would gather very late and very local. We settled on a weekend night in late April. We decided that we would head to the other side of the ' -.i/iplS-Eu : ¥:M Gn ■ : Holy Saturday river by car and then wade out to a large sandbar which was easily accessed Saturday, March 29 from that side and which had always beckoned us from the campus side...

We didn’t really have an agen­ da, and I don’t remember that any one of us felt particularly competent to lead prayer, but we just knew that it was what we had to do... we knew it was, C/3 somehow, the men and women we had become over the years together. We had become people who knew that we were somehow bound up not only with each other, but with God... and because of God. As we entertained... and Palm/Passion Sunday feared... life beyond the community that we had come to know and love, we knew ourselves to need something more than each other to sustain and nur­ Weekend Presiders ture us... and in some sense, something more than ourselves to keep us at Sacred Heart Basilica together. We were headed in a variety of directions and vocations... to great professional opportunities, to the Peace Corps, to professional and graduate Saturday, March 22 schools... and to unemployment. We talked and we laughed and we cried... 5:00 p.m. and as the sun was peaking up in the eastern sky we each took time to pray Rev. Daniel Jenky, C.S.C. aloud for one another and for those things which most consumed our minds and our hearts on that early spring morning. Sunday, March 23 10:00 a.m. Most Rev. Joseph Crowley, D.D. There was nothing particularly noteworthy about this gathering other than the fact that it happened... that eight people took a little time to be together 12:00 noon and to mark the holiness of their days together. It will surely go unnoted in Rev. David Scheidler, C.S.C. the recorded history of human events, but for those of us who were there it is one of the more memorable moments of our young lives. There is irony in Scripture Readings for the fact that the moment during which we gathered to remember all that mat­ This Coming Sunday tered most to us has become the moment we most remember. I’ll close by simply urging each of you to attend to just such moments. Think twice before 1st Reading Mark 11: 1-10 2nd Reading Philippians 2: 6-11 you say yet again that you’re just too busy or that you don’t have enough Gospel Mark 14: 1-15, 47 time... it’s all the time you’ve got. Finally, Campus Ministry and the Center for Social Concerns are co-sponsoring a retreat for seniors on Saturday and Sunday, April 19-20th. (Applications will be made available from the Library Office of Campus Ministry during the first week of April.) There is limited space but we would welcome all seniors to consider joining us for this time away.
