We blessed John
O'Malley, S.J. He blessed us by opening up the Language of Our Heritage. From its roots in Ignatius, it is about caring, about service, about magnanimity. |
 |
Mary Feeley prepared us for the five minutes of prayerful reflection which followed each presentation. |
 |
We continued to name those from our schools who inspire us because they chose to make a difference. |
 |
Kate Mahern delivered a powerful, inspiring and courageous challenge to all of us to make the mission what we really do. Our Jesuit universities should be places where we can act justly with freedom with faith and with courage. |
 |
Larry Raful moved our hearts as he called
us to be unafraid of "God talk," or to pray or to make love and service of others our explicit mission. |
 |
We again gathered in groups to share what inspired us. |
 |
We learned from each other, |
 |
listening to a variety of experiences and reactions which reinforced and deepened our own. |
 |
We had come a long way to get here;
it was a journey in every sense. |
 |
We went to dinner in university groups at restraurants all over Omaha. |
 |
And we ended the day with an extraordinary reception at the Joslyn Art Museum. |
 |
And shared an uplifting experience of creativity and beauty. |
