Dig Deep.

Cavar Profundo.

The invitation to “dig” is a call to dive in, to explore, to let go of fear and self-consciousness, to get our hands dirty, and to have fun! When Mary, Our Lady of Lourdes appeared to young St. Bernadette in that rocky grotto in 1858, Mary invited her to dig – to dig into the earth to see what God wished to reveal and to dig deep in herself, to let go of her own worries and trust in something greater. Like St. Bernadette ourpatroness, who courageously dug into the earth and revealed the miraculous wellspring of Lourdes, we too are invited to dig. Whether we’re digging up a garden plot, digging into a great book, or digging deep in ourselves to persevere when times are tough, we invite all who are here to dig, and to dig deep – unless we do, we may never know the extraordinary gifts that lie within and around us.

Find More.

Encuentrar Más.

In Jesuit spirituality, the concept of “the magis” means “the greater, the more.” Our God, author and creator of all the universe, calls us not to live timidly with our heads down, but to look up and find more. God challenges us to seek the magis always, to strive to live in a constant state of conversion and wonder, to recognize that there is “more” waiting to be discovered within creation, within those around us, and within ourselves. Kurt Hahn, the educator who launched Outward Bound, said it well: “There is more in us than we know. If we can be made to see it, perhaps, for the rest of our lives, we will be unwilling to settle for less.”

Share Greatly.

Compartir Grandamente.

To share greatly is the crescendo of the Christian live.  It is not demanded of us; rather, God hopes that out of our great love for Him and for others, we are moved and inspired to share what we have received with others. Pope Francis, in his encyclical “Laudato Si” (On Care For Our Common Home), encourages each of us to worry not about scarcity, but to give from the abundance we have received from God. For each of us, as students and learners and disciples, it is not enough just to dig into our learning and set out upon the path of self-discovery. Nor is it even enough to challenge ourselves to find the great truth, beauty and goodness within studies and ourselves. These pursuits are only worthy when they ultimately empower and inspire us to give, to serve others – especially the marginalized – and to use what we have found to care for all God has given to us, especially our earth and our neighbors.
