i r l i I Words of inspiration. EIRGA11 On October 4, 5, and 6, the annual retreat was held for the City Hall Division. As is the custom for the Downtown School, the Church of St. Andrew at Foley Square was the scene of the 1956 retreat. Rev. Raymond Cotter, SJ. acted as Retreat Master. The three day schedule consisted of Mass, celebrated by Father Cotter, a short recess, the rosary and a second lecture. A similar program constituted the evening schedule. Father Cotter, who has presided over retreats for the past iifteen years, spoke on the reason for our existence, heaven, hell and vocations. His lectures set the pattern for one's personal sanctilication. However to make a good retreat, as Father Cotter explained, it is necessary that the exercitant do the real work himself, study himself, his relations to Cod, how he is advancing in the service of Cod, how he is working out the only purpose for which he was created, the service of Cod and so the salvation of his own immortal soul. Although this work of making a retreat is a personal thing, we believe it could be said, judging from the seriousness and attentiveness of the students that the 1956 retreat was indeed a spiritual success. 1 1 Attentiveness is essential. 172 On October 7, the retreat was closed with the Mass of the Holy Ghost. The Papal Blessing was imparted to invoke Codls blessing on Fordham University and on the students in order that the coming school year might be a spiritual as well as a material success. . A .
