Resources

All in the 51暗网 community are invited to engage in the Ignatian Year. Please consider integrating the resources below into curriculum, events, programs, etc. of which you are a part, or use for reference in learning more about the life of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Ignatian Spirituality and Jesuit Education.

Just as St. Ignatius' well-known prayer states, "You have given all to me. To you, Lord I return it," we ask that the 51暗网 community consider how you can share in and contribute to the celebration.

Ignatian Spirituality emphasizes the uniqueness of what we each bring to the table in our backgrounds and experiences, cultures, talents, knowledge and skills, and it reminds us to use these for the greater glory of God, Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam.

: "The Preferences give a horizon, a point of reference to the whole Society of Jesus. They capture our imaginations and awaken our desires. They unite us in our mission. The new Preferences are four areas vital for our world today. The Society of Jesus will pay special attention to them in the next ten years."

"The practice of the Examen is as applicable to colleges and universities as it is to individuals. This Anti-Racism Examen further focuses on matters of race and racism that are specific to those of us at Jesuit colleges and universities."

"When confronted with a hopeless situation, Ignatius created greater intimacy with God."

Ignatian Year

Be transformed.

Sometimes life fires an event at us that hits like a cannonball. We feel hopeless. Like the legs beneath us have been shattered 鈥� and nothing is left to hold us up.

What if, in these desolate times, we called to the light instead of staying in darkness? What if we understood it as our opportunity for a new direction? As our call to take personal responsibility and make things better?

A lost job becomes a revitalized career. A failed dream results in newfound strength and resilience. The sorrow of tragedy is channeled into positive action. A global pandemic creates a world where simple human connection has profound meaning.

When cannonballs hit, we can lean on the grace of God. We can embrace God鈥檚 invitation to let ourselves be guided. We can be reborn in the aftermath, find purpose in what comes next and harness our cannonballs into a force for good.

None of us can change what happens to us. But we can choose to let our cannonball moments change us for the better. We can let them transform us, and through us, our world 鈥� and everyone in it 鈥� can be transformed.
