ow the Gapitol Seizeaf s Charged with anticipation we left St. Francis Friday, November twenty-eighth for Washington, the filing cabinet of our nation's history, museum of its works of aft and the rostra from which it speaks. Arriving we viewed a striking silhouette, the Capitol, grey against a very blue sky. This was but the beginning of a mavelous series of thrills that surged through us continuously during our sta . We inspected the huge Congressional Library. We walked down the steps from the top of the Washington Monument. We explored the Smith- sonian Institute.- We saw the miniature Shakes- pearean Theatre in the Folger Library. VVe rode through Arlington, stopping at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. We visited Mount Vernon and stood on the porch overlooking the Potomac, where once Washington entertained Lafayette. VVe admired the Shrine of the Immaculate Con- ception, as yet unfinished. We were admitted to the White House. VVe wandered through the Capitol amazed at the phenominal whispering galleries. Yet to me, all these wondrous sights were far less expressive than two others. The first was the Franciscan Monastery, where, after assisting at Mass and attending a communion breakfast, a guide led us to various shrines. One a dimly lighted, chamber in which lay a breathtaking likeness of Christ in the sepulchre. XfVe were stunned by its realness, its vividness, its holi- ness. The other indelible mark was left after seeing the Lincoln Memorial. It was hard to believe that those eyes were stoneg for they were relaxing, understanding, yet determined eyes. Eyes that welcomed each of us, warmed our hearts, and made us gladder than ever to be Americans. We returned from Washington richer for hav- ing had our anticipation thoroughly satisfied. If the world today would but view the entombed Christ as weg herald Him as its Lightg and realize that it is from this Light that the Lincolns kindle their torches, then we might approach peace with a surer step. -MARYANN Faosr 4AI
