We invite you to try this over the next few Sundays. To Begin For those who love, nothing is too difficult, especially when it is done for the love of our Lord Jesus Christ. Scripture “I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another”. (John 13:34) Prayer Lord God, as I look at the day ahead and wonder how I will get everything done, I think about why I am here in the first place: because you love me. How simple, and yet, how magnificent! You have created me to love, praise, and serve you, so that I might live forever with you. Help me see everything I do today as an expression of my love for you. Action I will write the word “love” next to each item on my to-do list as a reminder that when I do things for love of God and neighbor, nothing is too difficult.

Karl Kiser, SJ Retirees Embark on Ignatian-inspired Journey Dear Friends, I am humbled. These are the words I used when I wrote my first message in this magazine as the first provincial of the newly formed USA Midwest Province. And they are just as true today—in this, my last message to you as provincial in Jesuits Magazine. I have been humbled to work with my Jesuit brothers and our lay collaborators to pursue our mission, and I have been humbled to experience the fruits of your prayers and support in all that we do. I am pleased that Father General Arturo Sosa, SJ, has named Fr. Karl Kiser, SJ, as our next provincial (see page 12). A proven leader, Fr. Kiser brings considerable pastoral and administrative gifts, along with international experience, to his role of caring for the Jesuits and the ministries of our province. I am equally grateful for his deep and abiding love for the Society of Jesus and its service to the Church. One such mutual goal involves the Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation dialogue that has been taking place among the Society of Jesus, Georgetown University, and the Descendants of Jesuit Slaveholding (page 9). President of the Jesuit Conference, former Chicago-Detroit Provincial Timothy Kesicki, SJ, has been engaged in this vital work for several years; it is just now bearing fruit.

  • Forgiveness and Healing
    FORGIVENESS AND HEALING Confession and the Spiritual Exercises Eric Jensen OME WEEKS AFTER Íñigo de Loyola set out, at the end of February S 1522, on his way to the Holy Land, he arrived at the Benedictine abbey of Montserrat and put himself under the guidance of a French confessor, Jean Charon, one of the monks of the abbey.1 He spent three days examining his conscience and writing down his sins in preparation for a general confession relating to his entire past life. Íñigo’s confessor was probably guiding him with the help of a manual, the Compendio breve de ejercicios espirituales,2 based on a work by Montserrat’s former Abbot García Jiménez de Cisneros (cousin of Cardinal Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros). This guidance is probably what influenced Íñigo to delay his pilgrimage. He would spend almost a whole year at the nearby town of Manresa, making Cisneros’ Exercises and being instructed in different methods of prayer by his confessor. This little manual seems to have influenced the pilgrim’s prayer profoundly and left its traces in the notes that he was compiling as well as in the title that he gave them.3 Confession and the Spiritual Exercises The first spiritual exercise in the Compendio is a general confession of the sins of one’s whole life, which is precisely the exercise first assigned 1 See Cándido de Dalmases, Ignatius of Loyola, Founder of the Jesuits: His Life and Work (St Louis: Institute of Jesuit Sources, 1985), 49, 53. 2 Javier Melloni, The Exercises of St Ignatius Loyola in the Western Tradition (Leominster: Gracewing, 2000), 8–11.

  • Becoming a Jesuit the Challenging and Rewarding Journey of Formation
    USA MIDWEST PROVINCE | FALL/WINTER 2020 Becoming a Jesuit The Challenging and Rewarding Journey of Formation Also in This Issue: n An Interview with Jesuit-Educated Comedian Bob Newhart n Campion High School’s Legacy Lives On n Ignatian Spirituality Project Takes Root in Dublin Dear Friends, As we near the end of 2020, I find myself reflecting on the ways that the world has changed over these last 12 months. The onset of the pandemic, followed by economic collapse, and the social and political upheaval of an election year—any of these would be remarkable on their own. Yet in all of this, we have adapted to find new ways of worshipping, socializing, working, sharing, and learning together. Yes, these adjustments were and continue to be stressful, but these are also times of grace, as we see faith and courage overcome desolation and fear. Perhaps that is why it’s no surprise that our schools across the Midwest rose swiftly to meet the challenges of COVID-19 (page 14), stepping up in the same way Jesuits have done since our founding. In Cincinnati, at Bellarmine Parish and Xavier University (page 20), the pandemic united the parish and university to work together in unique and innovative ways, as perhaps nothing else could have. At the same time, the Seminars in Ignatian Formation and Leadership (SIF) program (page 19) continued to offer training in the Spiritual Exercises to those serving at our Jesuit works. This vital program transitioned successfully to an online model, so that the ripple effect of this training continues.
