Law School Opening Mass

At Ave we have mass every day, multiple times throughout the day. I normally don't go, but on special occasions I do. This week, the opening mass of the new school year was one of those occasions. A lot of ugly things have happened around here lately. It seems so appropriate to pray for my school at this time. I wanted to share these words from the program handed out at the opening mass. Pray for Ave if you think of it.

"As we begin a new academic year we invoke the Holy Spirit to renew in us His gifts of wisdom, understanding, right judgment, courage, knowledge, reverence, awe and wonder. It is only through God's grace that we can fully appreciate God's law for the governance of civil society and do what is required to ensure the dignity of each person made in God's image and called to eternal life with Him. Today under the Spirit's guidance we recommit ourselves to our vocation as servants of the law to do justice, love goodness and walk humbly with our God."

Amen
