Decision: The University of Dallas

I have been offered admission to the IPS doctoral program in literature the University of Dallas, and I have decided to accept. For those of you who know me well, you know just how much this means.

Thank you, Lord, for this gift. Help and enable me to carry out my duties in this new office with efficiency, joy, and peace, and to do so to the satisfaction of those for whom and with whom I study. May I see this work as my participation in Your providential design of creation and preservation. It is also my expression of my solidarity with my brothers and sisters in the pilgrimage of life.

Help me Lord to work with a spirit of self-sacrifice. Bless the fruits of my work. At my time of retirement, may I be able to look back with joy, peace, and gratitude. Accept this offering, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
