Lord of the Dance
Over 600 St. Ambrose students will be dancing this Saturday to improve the lives of children being treated at the University of Iowa Children's Hospital and to support their families. I am impressed not only by the sacrifice of students on their feet for hours during Saturday's event, but also by the hours and hours of work all year long that's been put into this venture. We’re rooting for our students that the lofty goal of raising $175,000 will be realized. There is a correlation between what these students are doing and what the Christian world celebrates in the upcoming week. This Sunday is Palm Sunday, commemorating the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, but it's also referred to as Passion Sunday, because our liturgy proclaims the greatest act of love God could offer humanity, the passionate love of Jesus Christ on the cross. The song, "Lord of the Dance” an English folk song written by Sydney Carter in 1967 speaks of Jesus as a piper leading his people in the great dance of life. I can't think a better prayer for all Ambrosians on this Dance Marathon Weekend and for the start to Holy Week than the refrain of that song:
Dance, then, wherever you may be,
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he,
And I’ll lead you all, wherever you may be,
And I’ll lead you all in the Dance, said he.
Thanks to our students for leading us all in a Christ-like dance of service that will lead to a better way of life for those who are in pain. May the commemoration of Holy Week and the celebration of Easter help us all rise from whatever keeps us from the joy of life.           ---Fr. Chuck

CELEBRATING A RICH TAPESTRY
It really is incredible to think that a college or university would be a place where intolerance and bigotry could take place. An institution so inherently dedicated to educating minds and expanding hearts ought to be the last place where one would find intolerance. But it was precisely at a state university in the Midwest last week that a racist rant from a fraternity member became public. It may sound naive, but I would hope that such things could never happen at St. Ambrose given the commitment we have made to diversity and to social justice. However, when such hateful occurrences take place anywhere in our society, they challenge every one of us to examine our consciences to dispel our own fears and ignorance.  Doing so helps us make sure we don’t contribute in any way to any kind of bigotry toward those of another culture, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or physical or developmental disability. In fact, once fears and ignorance are dispelled, we begin to realize that we need one another and our differences make us all the more a reflection of the Amazing God who created each and every one of us. Maya Angelou, the late author, poet, and historian one said, "We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color." Let's proudly celebrate that rich tapestry in a profound way by taking part in the many events of this upcoming Multicultural Week.    ---Fr. Chuck

More Than Corned Beef, Cabbage, and Green Beer
St. Patrick’s Day will be on the mind of many Ambrosians as we return from Spring Break. It seems only natural that a university founded by an Irish born bishop named McMullen would honor the patron saint of Ireland. The manner in which we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day can sometimes seem a bit inappropriate for the penitential season of Lent. But if we look beyond the green beer and the corned beef and cabbage, we discover in St. Patrick a man who is an excellent model for our Lenten journey. For example, many people don't realize that Patrick was not born in Ireland, but in Britain. At the age of 16 he was kidnapped and taken to Ireland where he was sold as a slave and forced to work for six years on his master’s farm. Rather than allowing this captivity to make him a bitter man, he turned to God and developed a faith in God’s Providence during those most difficult times.  In fact, he became a witness of faith, inspiring even those who meant him harm.  After finally escaping, he returned home to Britain, but eventually heard God calling him to forgive his captors and to return to the people of Ireland. He sought priesthood and was eventually ordained a bishop.  He returned to Ireland as a missionary and his preaching and his example of a holy life converted the whole of Ireland to Christianity. You can draw your own personal lessons from the life of St. Patrick. For me, it's the importance of rising above anger toward those speak ill of us or who do us great harm.  It’s about finding hope amidst adversity and allowing God to help us find good even in the worst of situations.  And it’s about an openness to God’s Spirit, leading us to those people and places where like Patrick we can be messengers of God’s peace.  But there is of course much more to tell so plan to join Fr. Conn OMaoldomhnaigh, Presidential Fellow from Carlow College, on Monday evening at 8pm in the Gathering Space.  He will be leading the Brewed Awakening discussion that evening.  And regardless of how you celebrate, have a very happy St. Paddy’s Day! ---Fr. Chuck
