eMail, fyull of Qnace THESE words were first uttered to the Blessed Virgin, announcing to her that she was to become the mother of Christ. Our theme for the Purple and White this year, “Hail, full of grace, is appropriate because this is the annual book of memories of life at Assumption College, and Assumption was named for Our Lady’s greatest feast. At Assumption the students are taught standard high school sub¬ jects, discipline, and a devotion to the Blessed Virgin. They are taught to go to her in times of trial and tribulation as they would their own mother, for did not Christ Himself give her to us when He said to John from the cross, M Son, behold thy mother; Woman, behold thy son.” And truly, never was it said that he who sought her intercession, implored her help, was left unconsoled. We may take for an example of this statement the thousands of people who have been so miraculously cured of every conceivable disease or illness at the Grotto of Lourdes in France. People journey there from all parts of the world, to pray at that shrine to her Son, through the Blessed Virgin. We are all aware to what extend a boy will go to do something for his mother, even when he has an impassive interest in what she has asked him to do. What then, would not Christ do at His mother’s request, He Who has so great an interest in those for whom she is interceding? Thus we may say to those of you who are leaving Assumption, and to those who will return, “Do not forget your devotion to the Mother of Christ. Pray to her for success in your vocation and in your every effort and your prayers shall be answered.” —Editor. r, C.K SINK
