  • THE PROCESSIONS in GOD Sr
    Teachings of SCTJM - Sr. Rachel Marie Gosda, SCTJM HE IS ALL IN ALL:THE PROCESSIONS IN GOD Sr. Rachel Marie Gosda, SCTJM April 6, 2013 The truth that God is one and also triune has been communicated to us through Divine Revelation. However, the way in which the Church has attempted to explain this great mystery has been the labor of the centuries. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches, “In order to articulate the dogma of the Trinity, the Church had to develop her own terminology with the help of certain notions of philosophical origin: ‘substance’, ‘person’ or ‘hypostasis’, ‘relation’ and so on. In doing this, she did not submit the faith to human wisdom, but gave a new and unprecedented meaning to these terms.”1 The “and so on” indicated here by the Catechism can include one more term, which we shall examine in this reflection: procession. We understand this term to mean the origin of one from another.2 Most of this reflection will deal with the nature and relationship of the two processions which exist in God: that of the Son and the Holy Spirit. In order to arrive at this point, however, let us begin from a more foundational starting-point by considering what exactly “procession” is in God. St. Thomas Aquinas teaches that because God is above all things, anything that we say of Him based on some likeness that we see in creatures is but a representation of who He truly is. Therefore, any comparison that we draw from creatures to God must not be limited to the level of the creature, but must be expanded to the level of the highest creatures, intellectual substances (as God is in the most perfect degree).3 So it is that, although all procession involves some sort of action, this action cannot be considered uniformly between creatures and God.

  • The Principle and Foundation of the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius of Loyola and the Jesuit Constitutions1
    1536-08_SIS18(2008)_12_Kokkaravalayil 30-10-2008 13:39 Pagina 229 Studies in Spirituality 18, 229-244. doi: 10.2143/SIS.18.0.2033291 doi: © 2008 by Studies in Spirituality. All rights reserved. SUNNY KOKKARAVALAYIL SJ THE PRINCIPLE AND FOUNDATION OF THE SPIRITUAL EXERCISES OF ST IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA AND THE JESUIT CONSTITUTIONS1 SUMMARY — The Principle and Foundation (PF) of the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius (n. 23) puts in a nutshell the theme of the whole Spiritual Exercises, which includes the final end of human beings and the right attitude to reach that. According to PF, we, human beings are created to praise, reverence and serve God by means of which our souls are saved. The other things are created to help us to reach our goal. We are to use the other creatures in so far as they help us to achieve our end. Such a use requires of us an attitude of indifference toward all created things and the choice of that which is more conducive to attain our goal. This theme is not limited to the Spiritual Exercises, but pervades other writings of its author. In this article we enquire how far this theme is present in the Jesuit Constitutions, and whether PF can provide a key to a better understanding of the Constitutions. We find that the Jesuit Constitutions, besides referring numerous times to the terms typical of PF, are charged with the spirit of PF. The content of PF, which can appear to be an abstract spiritual principle, is weaved into the Constitutions to be lived in the day-to-day life of a Jesuit.

  • The Extraordinary Synod - a Summary
    Volume 9, Number 2 Fellowship of Catholic Scholars Newsletter March 1986 The Extraordinary Synod - A Summary [Editor'sNote: Three members of the Fellowship's Executive Board attended the ExtraordinarySynod, held in Rome, November 25th-December 8th, 1985. The insights of Fr. Kenneth Baker, S.J., Fr. Michael Wrenn, and Professor Ralph Mcinerney follow. Mr. Robert DiVeroli is a syndicated columnist for several West Coast daily newspapers.] The Synod interpreted Vatican IIin a particular way-in three documents. First,the message to the world'sfaithfulproposes the Church as the Body of Christ withthe faithfulcalled upon to place themselves . in communion with this Church (Lumen Gentium), . as hearers of God's Word (Dei Verbum), . participating in the holy liturgy (Sacrosanctum Concilium) , . and serviceable to mankind, especially to the poor (Gaudium et Spes). Notice the hierarchy of values. Secondly, "The Final Report"celebrated and confirmed the Second Vatican Council on its 20th anniversary. The participating bishops experienced, what they called, "communion in one spirit, the one faith and hope, and in the one Catholic Church." Unanimously, they willed to translate that Council into the life of the Church. But they also admitted the estrangement going on in the "First World" and the paradox of a faith enriched by Vatican II in places where people are oppressed. The Synod spoke, too, of the temptation of consumerism and the misreading of Council documents to explain "shadows in the Council's reception." . Too much renewal identified with external structures and too little with God. The pastoral charactor of the Council documents cannot be separated from their doctrinal vigor.

  • What Magis Really Means and Why It Matters
    Geger: What Magis Really Means What Magis Really Means and Why It Matters Fr. Barton T. Geger, SJ Regis University ([email protected]) Abstract Many definitions of the magis are proffered in Jesuit circles, not all of which are clear or helpful. The best definition, in terms of practicality, fidelity to the sources, and correspondence to other Ignatian themes, is “the more universal good.” It is closely linked to the unofficial motto of the Society of Jesus, “For the Greater Glory of God.” I. The Problem therefore, all should be allowed to illuminate the dynamic character of the Ignatian “more.” In the No term appears more popular in the parlance of same vein, if a wide variety of texts are cited to Jesuit institutions today than the magis. Originally a explain the magis -- everything from the tales of Latin adverb that meant “more” or “to a greater chivalry that Ignatius read as a youth to the Ratio degree,” it is now commonly used as a proper Studiorum, a manual for Jesuit schools written forty noun to denote a key element of Ignatian years after the saint’s death -- it only shows how spirituality. Especially in Jesuit schools, “Magis deeply the magis permeated Ignatius’ spirituality. Student Groups,” “Magis Classes,” “Magis Retreats,” “Magis Scholarships,” “Magis Auctions,” Unfortunately, however, the variety of definitions “Magis Institutes” and “Magis Committees” are cannot be justified so easily, for at least four ubiquitous. The term appears in official decrees of reasons. First, if anecdotal evidence is any General Congregations of the Society of Jesus, indication, ambiguity about the magis can breed and also in the writings and allocutions of Jesuit confusion and guilt among Jesuits and their Superiors General.
