A.M.D.G. Filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the desert for forty days, to be tempted by the devil. (Luke 4:1) I find myself in the desert not forty days, but forty times one thousand days! Meaning that all the days of my life is a battle against the spirit of malice....

As the opposing fans pour from the sidelines, streaming down onto the court, you solemnly shuffle to the locker room, dejected and teary eyed. It is painful, no...
The buzzer beater shots.  The winning Hail Mary catches. The walk-off homeruns.  All these and many, many more are moments athletes, regardless of the sport, live for.  Being an athlete is more than the workouts, the game, the fame, or the success; it’s much more.  Being an athlete calls for one to give his entire body, his entire mind, his...
Jesuit is one of the most unique schools in the nation with all of its traditions and opportunities. When you think of Jesuit College Prep so many things could possibly come to mind, but what one thing stands out? The Jesuit Roundup has decided that over the next five weeks we will hold the first ever Jesuit Bracketology- a...
