Years later, things one does in college do not always rise to the top of things you want to remember. Thankfully, for me, going away to college was a much more incredible blessing than I could have possibly imagined. Not only did I meet my wife at Franciscan University, but I made some of the best friendships I have ever made in my life with men and women whom I hope to share in the Joy of Heaven with one day.
As well, there is one "out of college" experience that I had during the Christmas Break of 1998 that I would gladly share with anyone. Thankfully, with the horrible memory I have, one of those good friends I just mentioned has just posted the story online: http://www.catholicvote.org/discuss/index.php?p=39275
There is so much more that happened on this journey, and it was taken, on my part, because I had completed my Consecration to Mary according to the Preparation and Consecratory prayer of St. Louis DeMontfort. I wanted to thank her for allowing me to go to Europe in the Spring of 1999 (the other side of that Christmas Break) to study in Franciscan's Gaming Campus in Austria. So many blessings came of this year. Really, too many to enumerate here. But I must say that the Feast of Our Lady of Guadlupe, 4 days after my birthday, and 3 days after my Confirmation Saint's, Juan diego, feast day, will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart.
