Description | "This is impossible for man, but for God everything is poss ible." ~ Matthew 19:26 After being elected president, Abraham L incoln stayed in Springfield, Illinois, until it was time for his inaugur ation. Times were bad: states were seceding, and the South was readying fo r war. Lincoln walked to the rear platform and spoke is farewell to the cro wd: 'Here I lived a quarter of a century, and have passed from a young to an old man. Here my children have been born, and one buried. I now leave, not knowing when or whether ever I may return, with a task before me grea ter than that which rested upon Washington.' ~ Mark Link, S.J. When have you said farewell to a happy past and set out to face as uncertain fu ture? When was the last time our assembly ventured into a seemingly insurmo untable task? "Without the assistance of the Divine Being. ... that attended George Washington, I cannot succeed. With that assistanc e, I cannot fail." ~ Abraham Lincoln |
