A YEAR OF AMBROSIAN "HELPERS"
"Look for the helpers" was the message that popped up all over social media last week as people tried to make sense out of the terrible events in Boston. The late children's television host, Fred Rogers first offered that advice in an interview that was done in the year or so before his death. He told how as a child that if he ever saw scary things in the news his mother always reassured him by saying he only needed to look for helpers and he would find hope. It seems to me to be a fitting message for Ambrosians as we publish the final campus ministry bulletin for the semester. Looking back over the year I am reminded of the many occasions students this year have been among the "helpers" Mr. Rogers described. I would hope that all our students can look back over the year and find themselves taking part in at least one activity: From August's Urban Plunge to April's Dance Marathon; from service to Chicago, Detroit, East St. Louis, Houston, and Haiti, to the ongoing work with local agencies; from learning about injustices to writing letters for change; from individual prayer to masses and communal prayer services; from exclusion to inclusion. Faith Learning Justice is not just a motto for one's time at St. Ambrose. May it be for all of us a way of life, then where ever Ambrosians are, there are helpers. And where there are helpers, there is hope. Thanks to each and to all Ambrosians for your contributions to the 2012-13 academic year. Congratulations to our graduates. Blessings to all for a safe and renewing summer. --Fr. Chuck
