The lcey to the formation of this Christocentric life lies in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. It is through the Mass that he himself will, by the grace of God, achieve this goal. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass begins the day of the seminarian. There, in the peace and happiness found only in the presence of God, he will offer himself and his every action of the day to his Almighty Creator. He follows the Mass closely and devoutly, for he realizes that one day he may receive the privilege of offering the Holy Sacrifice himself. The climax is reached when he approaches the altar to receive his King into his heart. With Christ within him, he is ready to face the coming day and whatever problems or challenges it brings. When he arrives at school, his first stop is chapel where he visits his Redeemer and offers to Him his school worlc for the day. This visit is renewed many times throughout the day, for Christ and he are intimate friends. On various occasions he joins with members of his class or the entire student body to pay homage to Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. Gne such visit is the weelcly visit with the class during which the spiritual director leads the group in prayer and meditation. Another such visit occurs when the lower and upper years attend the benediction of the Blessed Sacrament each weelc when one of the faculty members spealcs on the spiritual life. On the first Friday of every month the Blessed Sacra- ment is exposed throughout the day for the ador- ation of the students. The day is climaxed with a Holy Hour, closing with a solemn Benediction. At the end of the school day the seminarian has the opportunity of receiving the Sacrament of penance. Several members of the faculty are at hand to give him spiritual advice, encourage- ment, and the cleansing words of absolution. Weelcly confession is recommended for all sem- inarians by the wise decrees of the Church, for through weelcly confession and spiritual counsel the seminarian is able to become more closely connected to God. By frequent confession he becomes more familiar with the sacrament through which one day he hopes to save many souls. Throughout the five years, a seminarian spends at Quigley, his spiritual life is watched over, guided, and nourished by the spiritual directors. These priests have the grave responsibility of forming the young boys who went to Quigley in first year, into men who are on their way to becoming other Christs, when they leave the minor seminary at the end of fifth year. To this important taslc, Fathers Mohan, Sheridan, and Crosby have dedicated their entire day. ln ad- dition to giving tallcs in chapel and hearing con- fessions at noon and after school, throughout the day they are always at hand for anyone of the seminarians who feels he is in need of spiritual advice. And under their direction may the sem- inarians follow the counsel of St. Paul, Be imitators of me, as l am of Christ. 17
