  • Pedro Arrupe's Mysticism of Open Eyes Kevin F. Burke, S.J. Jesuit
    Pedro Arrupe’s Mysticism of Open Eyes Kevin F. Burke, S.J. Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley Courtesy New Orleans Province, Society of Jesus Celebrating the Centenary of Pedro Arrupe This is the first in a series of events at JSTB honoring the centennial of the birth of Pedro Arrupe, S.J. Fr. Arrupe the superior general of the Society of Jesus during the tumultuous period following the Second Vatican Council, from 1965 until his formal resignation in 1983. He is an important figure for many reasons and the idea of dedicating a series of events to honor his memory struck a chord with many members of the JSTB community. Many Jesuits remember him as a dynamic and beloved leader who was broad-minded, patient with and trusting of those under him. And of course, he presided over an extraordinarily important period in our history and during that time was one of the most recognized and influential Catholic leaders in the world. 1 CourtesyTime Magazine There are good reasons why Jesuits would like to celebrate such a towering contemporary figure. For myself, I entered Jesuits in the mid-1970s during Fr. Arrupe’s term as General. As I say in the introduction to the small collection of his writings that I was privileged to edit, he was “a hero to those entrusted with my early formation in the Jesuits [who] quickly became my hero.”1 However, as important as Arrupe is to Jesuits, his influence does not begin or end there. Many others religious women and men of various congregations as well as numerous lay men and women, acknowledge a tremendous dept to him for his leadership and vision.

  • Saint Ignatius Loyola
    Ignatius of Loyola 1491-1556 Ignatius was the founder and first superior general of the Society of Jesus, and thus well known to the Holy Cross community. The details of his life show a man of powerful intellect and perhaps even more powerful vision, determination and organizational skills. His initiation in the life of public accomplishments began with service as page, then soldier to the Spanish courts. When King Francis I of France dispatched troops to Spain to support the French claim to the kingdom of Navarre, Ignatius was sent into battle. At the defense of the castle of Pamplona he was seriously wounded in the leg by cannon shot, necessitating a long period of convalescence. During this time he had the leisure to read deeply in Christian literature, notably medieval texts such as the Life of Christ by Ludolph of Saxony and the Flowers of virtue (Flos sanctorum) of Jacobus de Voragine, the compiler of the Golden Legend. From this moment Ignatius vowed a life of celibacy dedicated to the spirit; he made this pledge at the shrine of Our Lady of Montserrat, the most revered center of Marian devotion in Spain. For the eleven months that he remained in the area at Manresa, he engaged in prayer, aided the sick, and accomplished the major work of writing his Spiritual Exercises. After a brief trip to the Holy Land, Ignatius returned to Spain and began eleven years of education at Barcelona, Alcala, Salamanca and ultimately Paris, studying Latin, philosophy and theology. What would later become the Society of Jesus began in 1534 in Paris when Ignatius vowed (with six companions, joined by three others a year later) to live in poverty and chastity and to offer their service to the Holy See.

Toner, S.J. _ ,-. r>0 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. VI June, 1974 No. 4 THE AMERICAN ASSISTANCY SEMINAR ON JESUIT SPIRITUALITY consists of a group of Jesuits from various provinces who are listed below. The members were appointed by the Fathers Frovincial 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.

The Via Francigena Toward the end of the first millennium and the beginning of the second, pilgrimage gained increasing importance. The holy places of Christianity were Jerusalem, Rome and Santiago de Compostela. The Via Francigena—the road from France—became the central hub of pilgrimages, also known as the great ways of faith. The Via Francigena pilgrimage began at the Canterbury Cathedral in England, crossing France, Switzerland and Italy ending at Saint Peter’s Cathedral in Rome. Pilgrims, traders, merchants, scholars and other travelers used the Via Francigena. On a normal day up to 3,000 people walked the route. Pilgrims usually travelled in large groups and walked about 8 hours a day. Inns, canonries, and monasteries served pilgrims along the way. Over time, pilgrimages lost popularity and alternative routes replaced the Via Francigena. In 990, Archbishop Sigeric the Serious walked the Via Francigena to St. Peter’s to collect his cloak of office from the Pope. He recorded his journey in detail.

  • St Ignatius of Loyola's “Vision at La Storta” and The
    ST IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA’S “VISION AT LA STORTA” AND THE FOUNDATION OF THE SOCIETY OF JESUS Alison C. Fleming* The foundation and naming of the Society of Jesus in 1540 is explicitly linked to the “Vision at La Storta”, a central event in the life of the Society’s founder, St Ignatius of Loyola. This life-changing vision is reconstructed visually by the Jesuits between the 1590s and the 1690s, culminating in the sculptural representation on the Altar of St Igna- tius in the Church of Il Gesù. In a century of prints and altarpieces, sculptures and frescoes, these images portray the miraculous event in diverse fashions and for various purposes, all of which allow the viewer to comprehend – and even experience – the event that serves as an emblem of the foundation and naming of the Jesuit order. This engaged participation builds on established Jesuit ideals, practices and works of art, including the envisioning essential to the Spiritual Exer- cises, and the participatory commentaries on the Gospels by Jerome Nadal. This essay examines the relationship between the vision, the denomination of the Society of Jesus, and the artistic representations that allow the viewer to appreciate them fully by experiencing them in the most prominent Jesuit churches. In the fall of 1537, Ignatius of Loyola approached the city of Rome. He had started out from Paris three years earlier, with his companions, having taken a collective vow to travel to the Holy Land. When this proved impossible they determined to go to Rome and put themselves * I would like to thank the editors of this volume for their thoughtful questions and suggestions throughout the writing of this article.
