Alejandro Lozano, SJ, tried to talk himself out of a call he didn’t feel worthy of. But grace didn’t ask for a flawless journey β€” only openness.

The call to follow Christ doesn’t wait for perfection. It waits for your heart.

Mission isn’t always grand action. Sometimes it’s as simple & as hard as sitting with another in grief.

For Bryan Manning, SJ, that was the mission. Ordinary moments became sacred encounters.

We often underestimate prayer. But for Fr. John Perry, it’s the most faithful chapter of a life at the service of others.

From Bhutan to bioethics, he served quietly. Now, he still serves ... by praying.

Planting Ignatian seeds: The work of Jesuit chaplains in Canada An essential role of a chaplain is meeting people where they are and journeying with them to encounter God.

A syllabus teaches facts. People teach love.
As school begins, we honour those who walk with students β€” guiding not just minds, but hearts.

Because real education is more than knowledge. It's accompaniment.
