A Journey Shared
Entering college is a new beginning. A new step on life's journey. It can be one of life's most exciting adventures. A time to be exposed to new ideas, to learn new things about oneself and about others. A time to discover new possibilities. To explore new dimensions. To fall in love, to find oneself. To become lost, to find oneself again.
The Newman Club hopes to become part of our life's journey. To be with you when you despair, and when you feel joy.
The Newman Club offers a broad-based ecumenical and interfaith program, and opportunities to worship God as well as to enter into dialogue with others. To find out more about the Newman Club, contact the Center for Religious Life, 38 Woodside Avenue or Elizabeth Carr, 413-542-8083
My Lord God, I have no
idea
where I am going
I do not see the road
ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain
where it will end.
Nor do I really know
myself,
and the fact that I think I
am
following your will does not
mean
that I am actually doing so.
But I
believe that the desire
to please you does in fact please
you.
And I hope I have that
desire
in all that I am doing.
I hope I
will never do anything
apart from that
desire.
And I know that if I do this,
you will lead me by the right
road
though I may now nothing about it.
Therefore, I will trust you
always.
though I may seem to be
lost
and in the shadow of
death.
I will not
fear,
for you are ever with
me,
and will never leave
me
to face my perils alone.
