February reflection: We're all on the same team
National Marquette Day has become a terrific tradition at Marquette. It dates back to the days when we couldn’t watch a lot of Marquette men’s basketball on television. Things have sure changed with the advent of cable television and internet viewing of sports. Still, there is something special about an occasion when we all set our focus on the same thing.
National Marquette Day allows all of us to cheer for the same team because we are Marquette. We may cheer for a team but what we share is our common experience, our education, our beliefs, our faith. We had a similar celebration last fall with Homecoming. Again, we have an opportunity to celebrate all things Marquette.
More recently Marquette University hosted Mission Week. Our theme, "Racial Justice: Black, White and the Call of the Church," speaks for itself at a time when we are called to come together in our cities, in our country, in our world. The differences in our world are so pronounced. Our Catholic and Jesuit tradition calls us to speak up and work for a better world.
Pope Francis reminds us to focus on building bridges. In our quest for education the whole person. In our service to the community and the world around us. In the leadership provided by Marquette alumni across the land. And yes, even in the excellence on the basketball court. We are called to build bridges between us. We are called to be the difference. We are Marquette!
Rev. Frederick Zagone, S.J.
Chaplain, Marquette University Alumni Association
