            During Lent, we will hold online sessions for our BCH community to discuss contemporary issues in our shared Jesuit mission. The worldwide church is in the midst of a two-year synod in which we dialogue and learn how to walk together. Taken from the major themes of Father General Arturo Sosa’s book, “Walking with Ignatius,” we will examine the Jesuit themes given to the Society by Pope Francis. It encourages and invites all people to become involved in the dealings of the world as contemporary Jesuits and our colleagues live out the renewed mission. 

 

            All are welcome. Bring a friend. Come once, or come for the entire program. The program will begin with a prayer and end with a reflection, and the majority of the time will be discussing contemporary events that are crucial to our building up the Kingdom of God on earth. The program begins at 11:00 a.m. and ends at noon with times for questions and dialogue.

 

Walking with Ignatius Today

A Lenten Series

 

 

March 2 – Bold Living in Today’s World: Globalization, the pandemic, and a loss of vision to the common good has created cracks in our fragile social structures and creates new visions. 

 

March 9 – A New Dream for the Church – Solidarity: At Vatican II, the authority of the People of God has been emphasized, and dialogue is necessary as discern the signs of the times.

 

March 16 –  Showing People to God – The Spiritual Exercises and Discernment are fundamental to the spiritual life and offers freedom to people as they make life’s decisions.

 

March 23 – Walking Alongside the Poor, the World’s Outcasts – A concern to walk alongside the most needy has always been central to our understanding of our religious life.

 

March 30 –  Growing in Awareness of Our Common Home – Ecological awareness does not come readily in our society, and is a sensitive but necessary topic to consider. 

 

April 6 – Jesuit Education, A source of Freedom and Hope; Accompanying Young People – Enlightened Ministry involves a tension between a deep spirituality and developing the resources available to us. Holding that tension is part of the Jesuit charism. 

 

April 13 – Shared Mission, Dialogue and Openness – We are partners on a mission that is not ours but belongs to Christ. What shared mission looks like in a time of synodality.
