Highlanders,
Today is the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, and it is a big deal, or at least it should be, at Notre Dame because it is the feast day of the Congregation of Holy Cross. The C.S.C., founder of Notre Dame, exalts in the Cross of Christ, not as a burden nor a suffering, but as a sign of hope! Their motto is "Ave Crux, Spes Unica--Hail the Cross, our only Hope!" From its very inception, the C.S.C. was inspired to see Jesus and his holy Cross through the luminous eyes of Notre Dame, French for "Our Lady." They strive to imitate Mary's unshakable fidelity and find strength in her maternal love; it is in imitation of Mary, Mother of Sorrows, that all of us who follow her Son might come to know the Cross as our only hope. So amidst of the busy week of tests, meetings and assignments, I hope you find strength in Notre Dame, Our Mother. As for this week in Duncan Hall, I'll keep it short so you can get back to your studies:
