I only recently noticed that the Seal of the University of Notre Dame has three Latin words at the center: Vita, Dulcedo, Spes. This is from the "Salve Regina," one of four Marian anthems, and is the official motto of the school. Here is the first line: "Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy,
our life, our sweetness and our hope."
It has a slightly different ring than "Tender, Strong and True" or "God Country Notre Dame," but is just as inspiring.
