  • Today is the feast of St. Claude de la Colombiere, SJ. St. Claude was known as a great preacher and confessor, and was the spiritual director for St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, V.H.M, who promoted devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. St. Claude was also a missionary to England, where he was arrested, imprisoned and accused of involvement in the Popish Plot, an alleged attempt to overthrow the English thrown. More than 20 Jesuits died as a result of this anti-Catholic sentiment, but St. Claude escaped back to France thanks to the help of the French monarch. He died on this day, February 15, 1682. . . #BeAJesuit #JesuitSaint #Jesuit #Jesuits #PrayForUs #SacredHeart #AMDG #ReligiousLife #Feast #FeastDay #OTD #Ignatian #IgnatianSpirituality #IgnatianFamily

  • Today is a day we're told to think about love. But shouldn't EVERY day be a day for love? Shouldn't EVERY day be a day when we think about the things, the people we love? This prayer -- often attributed to Pedro Arrupe, SJ, but more correctly attributed to Joseph P. Whelan, SJ -- reminds us how love, how God, can and should guide us each and every moment of our lives. And how falling in love, how discerning and responding to our vocation, really can decide everything.

  • We often ask Jesuits to tell us who their favorite saints are and why. And you might not be surprised to learn that we get a lot of Jesuit saint responses. But for Fr. Hicham Chemali, SJ, a Lebanese Jesuit of the Maronite Church, the answer was different. How does St. Charbel help him be a better Jesuit?

  • As a Vietnamese-American Jesuit who teaches at Seattle University, Fr. Trung Pham, SJ, uses his art to express the emotions of never fully belonging. “Essentially, it was the beauty of the cross. The main idea was to see the beauty in suffering, salvation, redemption and love,” Fr. Pham says. “Sometimes [my work] can be very hard to look at it. The challenging task for Christians is to accept the Paschal Mystery means suffering and resurrection, dying and living are together. I hope to capture this visually in my painting. One side is painful but hopefully with my skill and work, the paintings provide an attraction and power of invitation.” . . #BeAJesuit @seattleu #Jesuit #Jesuits #Ignatian #JesuitLife #IgnatianLife #JesuitEducated #IgnatianFamily #artist #Vietnamese #VietnameseAmerican #priest #priesthood #theology #seattle #seattleuniversity #religiouslife #religiouslifeisthebestlife
