“‘Come. Follow Me.’ It was the Lord Jesus calling.” These words, the very beginning of the Constitutions of the Congregation of Holy Cross, seemed to come not from the seminarian who proclaimed them, but rather from the majestic crucifix hanging above the altar. Or they could have come from the flickering flame of the Paschal Candle, standing in the middle of the chapel, giving light amidst the pressing darkness. Regardless of where they came from, whether from the seminarian or the crucifix or the Paschal Candle, these words floated in the air, carried by the blue and purple and green light that shone from the magnificent stained glass windows behind the altar, light that reached even to the back of this ark-shaped chapel.
