Wear Black on May 17

Whether or not you plan to attend the commencement at Notre Dame, whether or not you ever went to Notre Dame, or whether or not you are a Catholic, Meeting Christ in the Liturgy asks you to wear black on May 17. It is a dignified way to show your solidarity with all preborn babies and to perform an act reparation for all the crimes against human life. Such an action shows respect for the office of President of the US and for the man who inhabits that office, while also respecting Jesus Christ who in dying for our sins, enables us to live lives of love, for above and beyond mere self interest.
