In New Orleans, Fr. General Arturo Sosa visited the Harry Tompson Center, a sanctuary for the unhoused that provides everything from hot showers to legal aid. A powerful example of #UAP2 and the "continuum of care" in action.

For children with incurable diseases

The Holy Father asks us to recognize that their smiles in pain are a "testimony of God's Kingdom." We pray for their medical care and that their families never lack strength or hope.

Happy Feast of St. John de Britto, S.J.!

A pioneer of inculturation, John lived as an Indian ascetic to share the Gospel in the Madurai Mission. He died a martyr in 1693, proving that faith speaks every language.

"The harvest is great, but the laborers are few."

YouTube video by Jesuits Global A more granular look at spiritual conversation | Christina Kheng

Is a facilitator just a timekeeper? ⏳

In the first #IgniteTheWay video, researcher Christiane Kheng explains why the facilitator’s real job is creating β€œsacred space.” It’s about building a safe, judgment-free environment for the Spirit to move.

God isn't impressed by power; He chooses vulnerability and the margins. As Ignatius taught, we find Him in "all things"β€”even the messy, daily routines of life.

"The world needs not more weapons, but builders of bridges."

Returning from the Holy Land, Fr. General Sosa urges Jesuits to reject polarization and choose compassion over hatred. The mission is reconciliationβ€”but it demands seeing the "other" as human.

Today, Nov 5, We honor the 53 Saints and 158 Blessed ones in the Society of Jesus.

The large number of martyrs (Saints & Blessed) shows that witness to Christ and service to the excluded always outweighed fear. We follow their courageous footsteps today!

The Major Superiors tackled the core challenge of Jesuit leadership: balancing the Care for the Mission with the Care for the Person. The message is one of unity: Mission integrity demands healthy, supported Jesuits. It's one single dynamic at personal and institutional levels.

Happy Feast of St. Francis Borgia, SJ! This former Duke and "Second Founder" of the Jesuits is the patron of our General Curia in Rome. A true example of radical conversion: "Never more will I serve a master who can die."
