    udiesinthe Spirituality of Jesuits 1 4199? The Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Life: A Practical Implementation . LIBRARY 5^ 1 L. Patrick Carroll, S.J. 22/1 January 1990 3N COLLEGE THE SEMINAR ON JESUIT SPIRITUALITY A group of Jesuits appointed from their provinces in the United States. The Seminar studies topics pertaining to the spiritual doctrine and practice of Jesuits, especially American Jesuits, and communicates the results to the members of the provinces. This is done in the spirit of Vatican II's recommendation to religious institutes to recapture the original inspiration of their founders and to adapt it to the circumstances of modern times. The Seminar welcomes reactions or comments in regard to the material which it publishes. The Seminar focuses its direct attention on the life and work of the Jesuits of the United States. The issues treated may be common also to Jesuits of other regions, to other priests, religious, laity, men and/or women. Hence the Studies, while meant especially for American Jesuits, are not exclusively for them. Others who may find them helpful are cordially welcome to read them. CURRENT MEMBERS OF THE SEMINAR L. Patrick Carroll, S.J., is pastor of St. Leo's Parish in Tacoma, Washington, and superior of the Jesuit community there. John A. Coleman, S.J., teaches Christian social ethics at the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley. R. Emmett Curran, S.J., teaches history at Georgetown University in Washington. James J. DiGiacomo, S.J., teaches theology at Regis High School in New York. Robert N.

  • The Christian Life Communities As Sprung from the Sodalities of Our Lady 45
    STUDIES in the Spirituality of Jesuits 1. The Christian Life Communities as Sprung from the Sodalities of Our Lady George E. Ganss, S.J. 2. A Specimen Copy of Communications from the International Service in Ignatian Spirituality, Rome Articles by Miss Jose Gsell Sister Franchise Vandermeersch Published by the American Assistancy Seminar on Jesuit Spirituality, especially for American Jesuits working out their aggiornamento in the spirit of Vatican Council II Vol. VII March, 1975 No. 2 THE AMERICAN ASSISTANCE SEMINAR ON JESUIT SPIRITUALITY consists of a group of Jesuits from various provinces who are listed below. The members were appointed by the Fathers Provincial of the United States. The purpose of the Seminar is to study topics pertaining to the spiritual doctrine and practice of Jesuits, especially American Jesuits, and to com- municate the results to the members of the Assistancy. The hope is that this will lead to further discussion among all American Jesuits — in pri- vate, or in small groups, or in community meetings. • All this is done in the spirit of Vatican Council II' s recommendation to religious institutes to recapture the original charismatic inspiration of their founders and to adapt it to the changed circumstances of modern times. The members of the Seminar welcome reactions or comments in regard to the topics they publish. To achieve these purposes, especially amid today's pluralistic cultures, the Seminar must focus its direct attention sharply, frankly, and specifi- cally on the problems, interests, and opportunities of the Jesuits of the United States. However, many of these interests are common also to Jesuits of other regions, or to other priests, religious men or women, or lay men or women.

  • Handbook Christian Life Community Australia
    Christian Life Community Australia Handbook Christian Life Community Australia Handbook Christian Life Community (CLC) is a lay international Catholic organisation, now present in over 60 countries. CLC began soon after the death of St Ignatius of Loyola and was renewed and renamed in 1968. It is a World Community lived out in small local communities and has a common way of life based on the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius. Each local CLC is a group of people who meet together regularly to help one another to know Christ better and to seek and respond to what He is asking of them individually and collectively. CLC maintains a close relationship with the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), the religious order which Saint Ignatius founded. The world insignia of Christian Life Community employs the ancient Greek symbol for Christ ‘X R’ (Chi Rho ), with the arms of the X extended to form an M (Mu) for Mary. It expresses our union with Christ and Mary, and with each other. Image on Cover “By special inspiration of God and a heavenly illumination, Ignatius writes a little book of spiritual exercises.” An engraving from Vita Beati Patris Ignatii Loilae Societatis Iesu Fundatoris.

Both bodies are deeply marked by and share the Ignatian Charism – living it as religious or as lay people. In our relationship through the centuries and decades, we have experienced a variety of connections and interrelations, questions concerning the role of Jesuits collaborating, guiding and supporting the laity, and efforts to look for ways of fostering the apostolic cooperation between the Society of Jesus and CLC.
