Prayer w study e sacrifice - the universal theme of the Missions forms the backbone of BCU activity on campus. Prayer e We prayed that Our Lord send laborers into the harvest, that the word of the laborers be heard, and that it bear fruit in the hearts of all. Our prayers were the spiritual nourishment for the lives and the labors 0f Christis missionaries. Study e We came to love Him more as we learned the beauty of the lives spent in the dissemination of His truth to those yet in darkness. We discovered the special role of the twentieth-century lay apostle in BLESSED CLET UNIT Moderator: SISTER DENISE Sister Denise, moderator, checks the order list while BCU oHicers unload a recentIy-received shipment for the Mise sion Shop.

We listened to the words of those who had given some 01' all of their lives in the spreading of the love of God, and for some among us there came the desire iito g0 and do likewise? Sacrifice - We shared our material goods with Christas missionaries and their people, and in our sharing, partook also in the sowing 0f the love of God in new and fertile fields. In all our missionary zeal, we came to realize these truths: to know is to love; to sacrifice is to manifest love; to pray is to become like unto Love.

The tremendous meaning of Mary in our lives is the discovery we Children of Mary make in our journey to God. To sanctify self is our goal, and through the ups and downs of our spiritual maturation, Mary becomes our Mother, our confidante, our friend. Christ in the Blessed Sacrament is the Heart Of our college days, and Mary lives close to that Heart in her patronage of our campus activities. We have worked close to the Tabernacle as sacris- tans and Mass servers; we have carried the peace of the Tabernacle into our committees7 works; we have returned to the Tabernacle the fruits of our efforts. Angela Rocks explains the fundamentals of laying out the priestls vestments for Mass to fellow-sacristans Loretta Ketterer, Mary Sheridan, and Barbara Boland. We have aimed to make our spiritual life flow into our actions, and the Children Of Mary,s program was the expression of the campusvs inner life of prayer. Our Charity Fair proceeds rose to new heights this year, and the hustle and bustle of pre-fair days was accompanied by the realization that the material gains of the Fair would be used in the spread of the Missions so dear to Mary,s heart. In all the big and little events of our college life, Mary became many things to all Of us. For each there came the glad surprise of the unique richness of a personal friendship with the Mother Of God.
