July reflection: Reflect on the past to celebrate today
A recent newspaper article spoke of how we sometimes miss the person we used to be. Maybe that is why we so look forward to gatherings over the summer. Family reunions, holiday cook-outs and parties, even our Marquette University alumni reunion. For a few minutes, maybe a few days, we can be someone we used to be. Not to live in the past, but rather to reflect and even celebrate the people, the events, the experiences that have made us who we are today.
Reflecting on the past, we celebrate the many milestones of our lives that have brought us to where we are today. We thank God for the past we have shared, the good times we’ve had, the challenges presented to us, the blessings we have received.
This month we also celebrate the first anniversary of Dr. Michael Lovell as the first lay president of Marquette. There is no doubt that he touched many lives this year. The Marquette journey continues as we move forward with innovation, expanding programs and building up this institution in so many new ways.
We thank God for Marquette University, those who taught us and those who influenced us, for having helped get us where we are today. We ask God to bless us as we remember, We Are Marquette. Amen.
Frederick Zagone, S.J.
