“I have donewhat is mineto do, may

Christ teach

you what isyours to do.”

These are the words Saint

Francis used to prepare theriars or lie ater his death,which ollowed not long aterhe said them.They are his instructionsor living lie: Follow your

heart. Seek truth. Serve each

other. Always be open tolearning.When our seniors graduate, they are always saying that

they don’t want to leave Siena. As I told them at this year’sCommencement ceremony: This is just the beginning!Siena’s liberal arts education will always serve as a

guide or our alumni. When they share their lives withothers, serve in the community advocate or the poor

and marginalized, Siena’s Franciscan mission is alive andthriving. Siena and its Francsican tradition are woven

through the very abric o our alumni’s lives.

When a Siena alum looks back on his or her life,

he or she is able to say “I have done whatis mine to do.”Fraternally,Fr. Kevin Mullen ’75, O.F.M., Ph.D.
