Love is always worth it

Joey Jegier | Friday, April 21, 2023

If humans were programmed like artificial intelligence, our code would be based on love. We are built for love. As I was deciding what to write for this column, I knew it had to be something I could write quickly and easily, because it’s due soon and I’m busy. I decided to write about love,

Can cats comprehend infinity?

Carlos Basurto | Wednesday, April 12, 2023

Once upon a time, one too many years ago, I was told the story of the cat and the TV by a particularly special person. He was young of age but terribly old of heart and soul. I do not know him and never will, but I can imagine he has gone through quite a

Notre Dame welcomes Lent season with Mardi Gras celebration

Peter Breen | Wednesday, February 22, 2023

A line of students snaked through the South Dining Hall lobby Tuesday evening for the Mardi Gras celebration, featuring an ice sculpture, king cake giveaways, a New Orleans-style brass band, Cajun-style food and invitations to partake more wholly in the spiritual practice of the Lenten season. On Ash Wednesday at Notre Dame, one can attend

Secure in Him

Andrew Sveda | Monday, February 20, 2023

“And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6). After describing his thankfulness to God and his joy in the Philippians’ continuance in the gospel, Paul in this verse rejoices in their future, confident that God

Our dependence on God

Andrew Sveda | Monday, October 10, 2022

Man is wholly dependent on God.  This is not merely pious rhetoric but thoroughly biblical. We have been created (Genesis 1:27; Psalm 139:13) and are sustained by God (Hebrews 1:3). We cannot live one hour (Luke 12:25-26) or even take a single step (Acts 17:28) apart from His power and foreordination.   Even more, it is not only

God, Country, Notre Dame and Mike

Mary Ellen Woods | Thursday, February 24, 2022

Friday morning, I was on campus with a number of Inspired Leadership Initiative (ILI) Fellows. We gathered in our Lounge in DeBart to watch the livestream of a memorial service for our fallen Fellow, Mike Boyce. Another Fellow and his wife made the trip back home to Atlanta to join Mike’s wife, Judy, and their

Who’s to say?

Sydni Brooks | Wednesday, September 1, 2021

While preparing Flaherty Hall for Welcome Week, a fellow member of hall staff asked us if we believed in ghosts or aliens. While most of our hall staff answered ‘yes’ to one of these questions, only two of us answered ‘yes’ to both. Personally, I don’t believe I can discredit the existence of anything that

Thoughts on God’s existence

Andrew Sveda | Monday, May 3, 2021

Does God exist? “Why should we bother?” you might be wondering. “It’s all so complicated, so abstract. I’ve got bigger problems to think about. And some smart people disagree!” Hopefully the reader can see that this is no real argument at all but a hollow list of assumptions and assertions. Undoubtedly, you do have pressing

The power of community at Notre Dame

Clark Bowden | Thursday, March 18, 2021

After the University made the controversial decision to remove the Zahm community from campus, I have heard a lot regarding community, family and support. People in Zahm House, their alumni and many people within the greater Notre Dame community are outraged by the University’s actions. There have been petitions, on campus protests and Zahm residents

Finding your place in the universe

Gabriel Niforatos | Monday, October 19, 2020

Do you feel at home in the universe? This is the question that my professor began class with last Monday and it has stuck with me ever since, because I am not sure that there is an easy answer to it. Perhaps there is something about October that puts me in an introspective mood. Maybe

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
