June prayer for alumni
While it seems like we have been waiting a long time for spring, summer is upon us.
According to Alfred Lord Tennyson, "In the spring, a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love."
Father Pedro Arrupe, the late former Superior General of
the Jesuits wrote: "…what seizes your imagination, will affect
everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning,
what you do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you
read, whom you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with
joy and gratitude.
Fall in Love, stay in love, and it will decide everything.”
Amen.
- Frederick Zagone, S.J.,
Chaplain, Marquette University Alumni Association

Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. Szatkowski, an Air Force
lieutenant, is currently attending medical school at the Uniformed
Services University of the Health Sciences and was having her teeth
cleaned when she spotted the familiar drawing. Read the entire story from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
