You're the one who shaved your head to join in solidarity with our brother. You're the one who traveled to Cleveland to be with him and with his family. You're the one who worked to raise money to Holy Saturday Morning fund the Donor Drive. You're the one, stranger or friend, who has seen him Saturday Paschal Vigil through to this day. Saturday, April 22 As I write, on Tuesday of Holy Week, we await that for which we have Basilica of the Sacred all long hoped and prayed. This evening, Conor will receive the bone marrow transplant form the one perfect match that was found among the more than Easter Sunday { three million person National Bone Marrow Registry. Conor has spent the 8:00a.m.~ 10:00a.trij: past several days receiving a series of radiation adn chemotherapy treatments, Noon respectively, to prepare him for the transplant. The theory is that they kill Paschal everything in him that is sickness and dath, and with the transplant, restore Sunday, April 23 life and renew his immune system. It is difficult to know just how long it will Basilic?Jof the be before we will know of the success of the procedure, and so yoru continued prayers are deeply appreciated. The parallels to that which we celebrate this week ought not to go unnoted. There is an appropriateness to its happening during this most holy of weeks. it is a powerful metaphor, in some ways, for that which we cele brate, the paradox of the Paschal Mystery. It might be a time for us to ask God to purge us of everythign that is sickness and death, and to begin in us the life to which each of us is called, a life of light, and truth, and love. Even as we pray fervently for Conor in these days, let's pray for ourselves as well. We may well be in as much need of healing, perhaps not of body, but of mind, heart and spirit. It is impossible to thank all who have contributed so mightily to Conor's cause, from the outpouring of love, prayers, and support that sur rounded the news of his illness to the contributions to the Donor Drive which was held on his behalf. There are some people and groups tha deserve partic ular attention for their incredible generosity and support. On Conor's behalf, I wish to list some of them here. Before I do, however, let me acknowledge the danger in listing any contributors at all, since I am likely to inadvertanly leave out some. Simply know tat there are countless individuals, residence halls, clubs, and significant anonymous donors whose names and contribu tions go unnoted here but which are no less deeply valued and appreciated.
