Midnight

At midnight, I lit a candle at the grotto.

I was surprised by how filled the grotto was with candles.  It was incredible to imagine all the freshmen and parents who had stopped by the grotto to pray for themselves and others.  It was a place filled with love.

Seeing the beautiful lights inspired an idea.  I had been pondering all weekend what my senior year should be about.  I think I've finally decided.  Perhaps it should be about love.  A beautiful way to end my four years at Notre Dame.  It will no doubt be a challenge but being loving is goal worthy of a Notre Dame student. 

Who knows where love will lead me?
