Words of Inspiration, Hope, and Gratitude
for and from Your Community
Interactive Prayer Stations
in front of the library, on the balcony outside the
Chapel,
and in the Public Market and J.M. Long Lounge,
throughout Study Day
Words of
Inspiration:
What was some of
the most helpful advice you received when you were facing a daunting task? What
words most inspire you? You are invited to offer words or prayers of
encouragement and inspiration to your fellow classmates on one of the
chalkboards. In this way, we can draw inspiration from our own community. Know
that you do not struggle alone, but are held in your community.
Words of Hope:
What are your
dearest hopes for yourself, for your friends, for your family, for your
community, for your country, for your world? You are invited to put words to
these hopes and dreams on the chalkboards provided. Especially as some of us
graduate, may we hold each other’s hopes and dreams with compassion and
excitement, and look forward to the unfolding of our lives together.
Words of
Gratitude:
What are you
thankful for? Who in this community brightens your day? You are invited to
write “warm fuzzies”, anonymous or not, to those people in this community who
make your life better. These can be affirmations, words of thanks, words of
encouragement, or whatever else you can think of that might be nice to hear at
this hectic time of year. Please leave your note on the table for that person
or people to find here.
Mass,
5:00PM, the McLean Chapel
Today is the
Feast of Saint Joseph the Worker.
May we
remember all who labor, the under employed, and the unemployed.
We also hold
in gratitude all who offer their gifts, talents, time, and love in service of
our students, especially the Holy Names Sisters.
The
J-Walkers also invite you to contribute
your gratitude to the cards for two groups of people without whom our quality
of life would be majorly affected: Campus Services (please sign card in the
J.M. Long Lounge) and Epicurean (please sign card in the Library). Please thank
these folks for all their hard work.
