Prayer: Peter Hans-Kolvenbach, S.J., former Superior General

The whole of Ignatius’ stance and vision is centered on the person of Christ…. The saving action of God must be continued after the example of Jesus Christ, the Man for Others. We are called to model our lives on Jesus, who shares our lot and becomes for us, way, truth and life – Jesus who shares his ministry with even clumsy fishermen – who has compassion on the multitude and feeds the hungry, gives sight to the blind – who is the good shepherd who lays down his life for this sheep – who forgives even his executioners and returns with the fullness of life and the gift of Easter peace – “What think you of Christ Jesus?” – “Who do you say that I am?”
