Memorial Statue at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart
Join O. Carter Snead, Director of the de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture and Professor of Law, as he reflects on the sanctity of life.
“Here at this statue, I offer a Hail Mary, meditate on the Blessed Mother’s constant and undying love and care for all, and pray for all the lives remembered here and those impacted by this loss. I resolve again to try to practice the radical hospitality, openness, and self-emptying love that Mary models for us to every member of the human family.”
As we prepare to welcome the Christ Child into our hearts, how might we also be open to welcoming life even in times of uncertainty and crisis, to shower the world with God’s love?
Beautiful message.
It’s a shame all of your alumnae don’t see this issue with the same love and clarity of purpose.
Beautifully said. Thank you so much for your meaningful Advent reflection.
So timely and meaningful in light of the Supreme Court news. Thank you!
An inspiring and reassuring comment that Notre Dame, as an institution, is on the side of Mary and life.
Thank you for this beautiful reflection and your respect for God’s most precious gift, life. May God bless you.
Wonderful reflection on what being pro-life means. May God bless your work in your position.
Thank you for this lovely reflection. I always enjoy reading your columns in The Washington Post:). May you be blessed to continue this important mission at ND. So many Catholic schools have lost this mission sadly….

However, the government should not control a woman’s body – it should be a decision made by the woman and loved ones around her.
Beautiful & so thoughtful ❤🙏
I’m all for supporting the unborn, but the government should not be involved. The mother, her doctor, and her family should make the decision.
Thank you, Carter. I pray for God’s Blessing for you and your work.
Simply perfect. Thank you.
May we all have open and loving Hearts.
