A PASSION PLAY
It's Tuesday. Tonight I went to Mass at one of the hall chapels on campus. Although it was not the place I usually attend daily Eucharist, I went because some friends were gathering there to pray. I have to think it was a larger crowd than this hall chapel typically sees. Along with us older folks (though none of us would readily claim such a designation publicly), the group was primarily made up of a wander ing band of about a dozen or so students who have committed them selves to travelling around campus during Lent and attending Mass in each of the hall chapels. I was struck in two ways by our gathering: first, by how diverse we were, but second, by how united we were in our prayer and in gath ering around the table. Our diversity was not evident in the color of our skin or in the range of our religious profession, it was evident in the circumstances of our lives and in our prayer. Among those who had come to the table, there was a student who had applied to be an R.A. but did not get the job, and whose pain ... not anger, was palpa ble. He prayed for healing. There was another student around the same table, from the same hall, who did get an R.A. position, whose humility tempered his joy. He prayed in silence. There was a Rector at the table whose father had died only hours earlier, and whose face bore the pain of a loss deeply felt. She prayed for his life, and for her family. There was another Rector present who spoke of his residents with the pride of a father for his sons. He prayed for them and for the homeless. There were several seniors there, two of whom had hoped to do the same service program, one who will and one who won't... both at the table. There was a couple who had had a long standing relationship but who have since parted ways ... together at the table. As I sat there and pondered the group gathered, and as I con sidered the things that occupy my mind and heart in these days, I was more deeply moved by that which we had come to do than I had been in a long time. I thought of my upcoming presbyteral ordination, only a month away, and I laid at the table all the expectations and fears that have concerned me about that in these days. I thought of each of the people gathered there in that room and the power of their stories and the deep passion that they brought to the table of the Lord's Supper. I marveled at our human frailty, and how clearly our brokenness was reflected in the breaking of the bread. At the same time, I delighted in the opportunity that we had to come together in Saturday, March 8 this simple and yet powerful way to support one another, to pray with 5:oop.m. ·" and for one another, and to share in the mystery of the Body of Christ... to become what we knew ourselves already to be. There were many stories around that table in that holy place tonight... some known to those of us gathered ... but most unknown ...
>F ' :·::,:;::·=·· .:.-,., ... most untold. What compelled us to bring them to that holy place Sunday; .. March 9 tonight? Was it mere chance that brought us to be there for one another in that moment... in our need? I don't think so. Ultimately, I 10:00 a.m. think we are drawn to the Eucharist because we believe that some thing more happens there than the merely observable. In this empir ical age, there is all too little credence given to the power of symbol 11:45 a.m. and of sacrament. There was certainly something more powerful in that room for me this night than any words can here convey or describe. I do believe that God is revealed in such moments just as surely as God was revealed in the person ofJesus. Every time we gath er around the table we glimpse the Easter light and joy for which we wait and hope. By our gathering together around the table, by our offering our stories ... our very lives, in the breaking of the bread, we are fed and strengthened for the journey. Come, eat and drink.

• lETTERS TO THE EDITOR Right Reason editors demand reasoning for blasts on their Christianity
Dear Editor, favor of slavery. We usually find Irfan Khawaja's column well-reasoned, but his latest editorial Nothing that Mr. Khawaja said contributes to a discussion of the merits of the criticism of Right Reason (Tues., Feb. 25) was far below the high standard of logi long tradition of the Church's teaching that there is a radical difference between cal rigor he has led us to expect. While he is generous in his usc of words which worldly and heavenly freedom. We would have liked to sec Mr. Khawaja offer indicate analytic thinking, he does not in fact make a true "inference" or show any some real arguments that would be relevant to such a discussion (contrary to the logical "contradiction." Indeed, in an editorial full of bold accusations which pre stereotype to which Mr. Khawaja shamelessly exploits, orthodox Christians are tend to be based on reason rather than prejudice, we cannot find a single rational not fascists and have an interest in rational debate). We would guess from his argument. It is easy enough to see where the arguments should be. The "contra causal appeal to the Bill of Hights and John Milton that Mr. Khawaja is applying a diction" is supposed to have something to do with our characterizing theological different standard of freedom based on his own classical liberalism, and it would obedience and orthodoxy as a form of freedom, rather than despotism. But we be interesting to discuss the relevance or compatibility of his standards to ours. see no contradiction.

We hope that he is willing, because it would be more chari institution including non-Catholics. (Indeed, Protestant senior editor Joshua table to assume that an enthusiastic young writer accidentally descended to Hochschild is a co-author of the piece in Right Reason that Mr. Khawaja criti imprudent bluster, than to assume that a graduate student of philosophy purpose cizes.) If Mr. Khawaja complains so loudly of contradictions, he has a responsibil fully implied that he was giving argument when in fact he was not, just in order to ity to show them, not just claim that they are there. dress up his innuendo and accusation, or, worse, in order to willingly deceive the Even more unfair is Mr. Khawaja's accusation that we "tolerate slavery."

Dear Editor,
I want to use this forum to recognize and thank the Voices of Faith and Chandra Johnson and any others who I have rnissed for the wonderful spir it-filled liturgy held in the Basilica to close Black History month. As a member of the Notre Dame Folk Choir, it was a rare occasion to sit in the pews and be ministered to. To put the event in context, last Sunday was a sort of "time out" for the folk choir, a chance to sit back and take a breather and retl,ec~ on.our own ministry. The weary folkheads went to breakfast, a 45-minute retreat, arid then to Mass. Speaking for myself, I can only sa,y ~hat the .liturgy was one of the most uplifting of the year and this is due 1n large partto the wonderful, inspiring music of Voices of Faith. Their enthusiastic sharing of the African-American spirituals, the continuous spontane01,1S affirmations to ,,soloists and preachers, and their pure joy was something to behold. Thank you for lifting us up and chal· lenging us to loqk beyond color ar\d race: This folkhead is indeed rejuve nated by your ministry and hope we will see more of you.
