Mass of the Holy Spirit At the beginning of the school year anxiety ran high as students and teachers reahzed all the work that lay ahead. The Mass of the Holy Spirit, a traditional Mass at Creighton to launch the school year, was held Wednesday, Sept. 17. The Mass has become an annual event at Creighton. The purpose, ac- cording to the Rev. Thomas Schloemer, S.J., is to call down the Spirit ' s blessing for the school year. According to Schloemer, the Mass originated from Pentecost Sunday when the Holy Spirit came upon the apostles in the form of tongues of fire. It gave people the courage and desire to start preaching. This relates to the Holy Spirit ' s function of giving wisdom and insight. The Mass is for praying for light, guidance and spiritual strength. I think it is particularly helpful at the beginning of the school year, the Rev. Bernard Portz, S.J., choir director, said. The Rev. Michael Morrison, S.J., president of Creighton, was the presiding celebrant. The Rev. Ted Bohr, S.J., pastor of St. John ' s Church, served as homilist for the Mass. Student and faculty participation in the Mass was high. Incense bearers danced through the church using movements that symbolized lifting gifts to the Lord to be blessed. Oliver Plunkett, 1984-85 Student Board of Governors President, led the processional. Administrators served as fire bearers and carried colorful banners. Approximately 35 celebrants, members of Creighton ' s Jesuit community, appeared in the procession. The Mass stressed the important role the Holy Spirit plays in our lives. In the Spirit we are pulled together. We are one, homilist Bohr said. No one can say Jesus is Lord but in the Holy Spirit. The body is one and has many members. All are one body. Top left: The Rev.
