Many thanks to everyone for your prayers and encouragement. I took my comprehensive exam yesterday morning, and have now completed my studies. Believe it or not, the letters "JCL" now belong after my name. I pray that I will be able to use it for the good of the Church. As for the human side of things, the sense of relief is only beginning to set in. Comps and the thesis are two things that have loomed large over me for the past three years - sometimes seeming like insurmountable hurdles. Now it's time to reflect back on how wonderful the past three years have been, to enjoy this last week in Washington with my classmates before graduation on May 14, and get ready for the flurry of activities when I return home to Louisville.
The now-published thesis:
The Tomb of St Albert in Cologne

Forgive my ignorance JCL stands for ....
Never mind I figured it out
Jurisprudence Canon Law so something akin to that right?
It stands for "Licentiate in Canon Law." In the Latin: "Iuris Canonici Licentia." There is no J in Latin, but instead the letter I was used. For some reason (an interesting one, I'm sure...) the I gets transposed to a J in "JCL."
