. ww, -ws-M-. - V ...W - fn. fm? . . ,, .4 .,v Your sparkle will turn to fire through the fire of the Holy Spirit. Your warmth becomes desire when you desire to love as Christ did. This, then, is the miracle that made you the way you are: God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. There is not much more to say. I could speak long thanks to those who have helped you to this point in life, but I think you appreciate it. Let's just say the world is waiting for you. No matter the future-as mother, nun, professional woman, take to heart the words of the marriage ceremony: The future, with its hopes, its disappointments, its successes, its plea- I sures, and its pains, its joys and its sorrows, is hidden from your eyes. You know that these elements are mingled in every life and so are to be expected in your own. And so not knowing what is before you, you go to lead the world for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death. You are now Christian leaders. Whatever sacrifices you make, always make them generously. Sacrifice is usually difficult and irksome. Only love can make it easyg perfect love can make it ajoyf' Girls, you have that loveg you have that talentg you have God. Girls, the world is waiting for you. Reverend joseph Skillin Baccalaureate Mass, june 3, 1965

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.
