I would like to offer words of outrage, words of solidarity, words of courage, words of comfort… but there is so much to be said, and so little time to say it. My heart will always be with the oppressed people of the world, who suffer under ungodly systems wrought by those who worship the false idols of greed and war.

I dream of a day where LMU can say, with confidence, clarity, and transparency, that we do not invest in war profiteers, that we do not invest in weapons manufacturers, private prisons, or fossil fuels.

I dream of a day where LMU treats our students, staff, and faculty with the same care that we treat our trustees. I dream of a day where students can speak up, and say BREAK ICE, STOP THE WAR, and FREE PALESTINE, without being stifled, silenced, or ostracized. Because their cause, and their words, are right and just.

Isaiah 1:17
“Learn to do good. Seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the orphan. Speak up for the widows.”

I dream of a day where people with courage and conviction are celebrated, not criticized. I dream of a day where our Mission isn’t just words, but actions. Because we are not mice: we are LIONS.

If you’ve been sad, if you’ve been exhausted, if you’ve been struggling to go through the motions of everyday life, good. It means you have a heart. Be free to feel. Be free to mourn. Be free to weep, without embarassment. Be free to take time for yourself.
 
But also be free to cheer. Be free to celebrate, without embrassment. Lean into the moments of joy in your day. Because we are worthy of joy. And we are here, on this beautiful campus, surrounded by good people. And we are not alone.
 
There is always hope, as long as we work together. Find your friends, and your community, in your classroom. Find your friends, and your community,  on the Bluff. Find your friends, and your community, in the Loft. And celebrate each other, and celebrate with each other.
 
In the words of Ignatius of Loyola, “Laugh, and grow strong.”
 
Thank you for joining us.
