Thursday in the Second Week of Lent

"Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose hope is the Lord."

During times of stress and uncertainty, it is very easy for folks to question their trust in God.  We both find ourselves doing this sometimes when things aren't ideal and it seems the entire world is falling apart around us.  Yet, whenever we catch ourselves losing faith, we try to remind ourselves that God is right here with us as we continue to fight through all of these challenges.

Both in our personal lives and as SGA Co-Presidents, it has been a year filled with unexpected experiences that have deeply affected us and the rest of the Holy Cross community.  As tough as it has been thie year, there have been silver linings as we are constantly reminded of the love, strength and hope that we find within our community.  Our experience of these virtues has helped us to move forward and to work towards a more inclusive, empathetic and just environment for the many communities to which we both belong--on campus and beyond.

May we all be able to acknowledge these same virtues of love, strength and hope throughout this Lenten season and beyond.
