wg - h4nQ Q . f : hs, 1 l Gigi, you're not at all that funny awkward little girl I knew. Oh no, overnight there's been a breathless change in you. When did your sparkle turn to fire and your warmth become desire? Oh what miracle has made you the way you are? There has been a breathless change in you . . . No longer are you students of today. Tomorrow has arrived and you are its leaders. This group will no longer be together as it is now. Every time you try, there will always be at least one person missing. You will have different friends, and you will lose the security and routine you found at Holy Names. When did your sparkle turn to fire? When did your warmth become desire? It has been gradual . . . Over J four years you have maturedg have become more aware that it is more important to love than to be loved: to serve than to be servedg to give than to be given tog to lead than to be led. Over the last four years you have evolved from little girls into Christian women who will be our leaders. To be a Christian leader, you will need the help of the Holy Spirit. This is why we celebrate this Mass this morning: To thank heaven for you and to ask the Holy Spirit to guide you. In Him and through Him you can wash away the stains of sin: water and quench that which is dried outg heal the wounds and bruisesg bend a little that which is rigidg warm with love the hearts of' iceg guide that which goes astray.
