need to call that number. they will give you an e-mail or another number. fax believe i have your number. >> after that, you can find out if you are eligible for any assistance. >> that is what i asked her. i am a widow. >> the time, the duration, would be after you send your insurance. you should hear back within 7-10 days. >> washington, d.c. works that quake? -- quick? [laughter] post office will hold the mail for you. also you will be getting a phone call from the small business administration. it is very important because that is the process, whatever your insurance company gives

[applause] >> thank you.

thank you. president, alex, where are you, alex? thank you for rekindling that feeling i had at the republican national convention after i followed condoleezza rice. thanks a lot. i appreciate that. [laughter] the four i want to get into the commencement, i have heard so many good things about benedictine college. my friend,, who spoke last year, yup and told me about this gold -- called me up and told me about the school. he said you are a tightknit and broad-minded, small sized and bighearted. i have spent a little bit of time here. p90x this morning.

i got to do dinner with the archbishop. i got to check out the river. 90%i got to find out that of the senior class had a problem when they were freshmen. that is how many people stood up and complained. [laughter] .ou made me feel at home this is a special place. it is obvious. you have done a great honor by being here and getting a diploma. i want to thank you for sharing this. you know, as i have talked to you i have been struck by some of the changes you have seen. it is great to see one with dark hair. hope at st. a new peter's and the largest freshman class in history. on this beautiful day, there are three things that are clear -- you have been through a lot,

your parents have paid a lot. alex made that clear. we celebrate your congratulations. congratulations. [applause] now that we are done with the important stuff, it is time for my advice. whenever i am in the situation i ask myself, what do i know now that i wish i knew then? well, sorry. life is not that easy. you can't ask someone for the best shortcuts to take. you have to learn some lessons by living them. those lessons tend to be the hardest but also the most fulfilling. and often they are lessons of faith. you know quite a bit about this topic. you know very well that faith is not a christmas ornament, it is

not something you save for a special occasion, it is something you live with and struggle with every day. why it is so frustrating and so comforting. it is always there. it is always there waiting for you. sometimes the hardest part is finding your faith, finding what you really believe. philosophy is not a book of answers, it is a search for wisdom. my advice is to keep up the search. after four questions years of college, if you're not satisfied, discover for yourself what it is you really believe. things down to basics. see how they add up. keep looking. that is why they call this a commencement because there is no end to your spiritual and philosophical journey. but as you gain wisdom, you will find more often you will be

making refinements to your instead of big changes. and if you form your views this way, through discovery and debate, through thought and prayer, your moral code will be far more durable and rewarding. but as you develop that code, you have to live up to it. you have to put it into practice. as catholics, we are meant to be in the world, not of the world. we are meant to take up a vocation god has given us and to do it well. several years ago i remember driving around the plains of kansas with my friend sam. thinking about, as a young man, what to do in life. i decided my vocation was to be public service. so today i want to talk to about my faith and attempt to

live up to it. i want to try to answer this question -- how does a catholic public service -- servant apply teaching? it is an important question. there are different ways to answer this question. our support for free enterprise and for strong communities. ,ood catholics can disagree and we do. that is the difficulty and the beauty of our faith. on some issues the teaching is crystal clear. for instance, we always attempt the sanctity of life. on other issues, there is a broad art of judgment and there is room for everybody. i am not going to stand here and -- isshort, what i hope to do make the moral case for free enterprise. and in this effort i speak only for myself.

and i ask only for your consideration. , my faith and understanding is very personal and far from complete. it began when my dad died. i was 16. it was tough on our family. it was tough on me. i was raised catholic, went to catholic school, served as an altar boy. i thought i had it figured out. when something like that happens to you, it makes you question everything. at a young age, i started a search for answers. i read everything i could get my hands on. hagel, aristotle and aquinas, and everything you can imagine in between. in fact, you may have heard i enjoyed the work of a certain female author whose books are monuments to the idea that men and women should be true to their passions even in the face of social pressure to conform. it is true. i was.

and i remain a huge fan of the "twilight" saga. [laughter] that actually is a joke. after i was elected to congress, i was young. i had to wrestle with many issues, as a representative and as a catholic. as i wrestled with my views, i kept noticing two things in my beliefs. solidarity and subsidiary. that sounds intimidating. it is really simple. solidarity is this belief that we are all in this together. we must be good to one another. we must be generous with our love and we must withhold it from no one. and when we write the laws of our nation we never and -- must lever loose sight of the common

good. subsidiary, it is like federalism. the belief that every part of our country adds to the whole. but every part must be free to do its work on its own terms. , government must to do some things. but it can't do everything. it should not assume other people's roles and it should not tell them how to do their work. the people closest to the problem are the most likely to solve it. they know the community the best. we see this principle in the first amendment. religious communities do great things in our country. they care for the poor, the hungry and the sick. he do this in their own way, guided by their conscience and their beliefs. that is why i strongly supports, and we must support, measures to se protect religious liberty. [applause]

catholic institutions, like colleges and hospitals should be free to do their work according to their moral standards. it is essential to our society and to subsidiary. over the years we have been blessed to hear from three popes that make the case for these principles. it is an amazing time to be a catholic. ii, he rallied the polish people against the seven union. he said communism was wrong. there was some and be on this. there was a god and we were his children. by speaking the truth, he electrified the polish nation, 36 million strong. not with a promise of wealth but a simple call, do not be afraid. he showed solidarity with the polish people and he freed them from fear.

pope benedict the 16th warned us about another danger. i remember this, he called the dick hater ship of relativism. dictatorship of relativism. the belief that there is no right or wrong. self-confidents and self-sustaining. it snufss it out. it burns books and censors the press. as saint thomas aquinas wrote, all men are forced to give to reason. freeds his predecessor poland from fear, benedict taught us how to protect the world from falsehood. popes showed solidarity with the oppressed and now, today, pope francis is showing solidarity with the poor, as the church has done for 2000

years. he is reading new life into the fight into poverty. to lift thisce dialog to a higher level. and i hope he will ring the divisions between the so-called catholic left in the so-called catholic right so that all may be one in christ. it is a spiritually impoverished that need the most help. the tierney calls of relativism the spiritual poverty of our time and it affects rich countries worst of all, including our own. we have help the poor to help the whole person, not just the material merits but the spiritual ones, too. the government can't give this help. the law is blind. it treats everyone the same. even though we a a
