Mother Mary of St. Adrian, M.S.C. Mother Adrian Encourages Seniors Dear Graduates of 1958, All your studies, all your activities of the past four years have been planned and directed toward one end-to prepare you to take your place as Catholic women in the social and business world which you enter today. You have been asked that your simplicity be a counter-agent to the sophistication and artificiality of the present-day world, that your piety, self-sacrifice and reserve be the glories of your womanhood. Nor have you received these lessons for yourselves alone. Alma Mater has asked you, is asking you now, to share these lessons, to carry, by word and example, God's truth into a darkening world. Your obligation is to offer to others and to share with them the truths of your Catholic religion. As well-informed Catholic women, you must meet the challenge of the times, you dare not hide your light under a bushel and leave the vexing problems of the world to be solved by those who either hate Christ or do not know Him. When the path of your apostolate grows alarmingly steep, look to your Mother, our Lady of Lourdes. This year of your graduation, 1958, is the centennial of Mary's apparitions at Lourdes to a young girl, to verify the pronouncement of Pius IX, who had been laughed tq scorn when he declared the Immaculate Con- ception a dogma of Faith, Mary appeared to Bernadette and said, l AM THE IM- MACULATE CONCEPTION. And her message, then as now, was prayer and penance. Our Lady wants you to walk in her footsteps so that others may see in you her image, that they may say: Yes, the Lady was like to her. Then, indeed, you will be ready, at any cost of prayer and sacrifice, to bear Christ, Mary's Son, into the market place, into the highways and byways of the world. Then, too, will your own light shine among men and they will glorify your Father who is in Heaven. Farewell! That God may bless and guide you thru the days and years to come, is the prayer of your Alma Mater, as it is mine. f ,WAC-1 5
