  • THE WAY a Review of Christian Spirituality Published by the British Jesuits
    THE WAY a review of Christian spirituality published by the British Jesuits January 2019 Volume 58, Number 1 MEANING IN LIGHT AND DARKNESS a © Steve Halam THE WAY January 2019 Foreword 5–6 Living with Anxiety, Medication and Prayer 7–18 Rob Culhane It is perhaps not surprising that drugs prescribed to mitigate the effects of anxiety will affect the life of prayer. It is less clear, however, what will actually happen in practice. In a frank and open article, Rob Culhane, an Anglican priest working in Australia, describes how his own ministry and spirituality have been influenced by the medicines he needs. Marriage Vows in the Principle and Foundation 19–24 Gerald O’Collins The preamble to St Ignatius’ Spiritual Exercises, the text called the ‘Principle and Foundation’, has frequently been regarded as dry, analytical, and rooted more in philosophy than in spiritual experience. However, by comparing it with the language of the marriage vows, Gerry O’Collins argues that it can be seen rather as a rich, loving and even lyrical passage. The Logos of Our Lives: Viktor Frankl, Meaning and Spiritual 25–35 Direction Richard Boileau The opening of St John’s Gospel is often translated as, ‘In the beginning was the Word’. An alternative translation, however, would be ‘In the beginning was the Meaning’. Viktor Frankl, a leading twentieth-century psychotherapist, wrote widely on the concept of meaning, and Richard Boileau here explores his work in the context of spiritual accompaniment. Spirituality and Living Adoremus: Discover a Whole New World 37–40 Margaret Scott Eucharistic adoration, where the consecrated host is displayed on an altar as a focus for prayer, is a Roman Catholic practice that can seem strange to other Christians.

    The Holy See EUCHARISTIC CELEBRATION FOR THE BEATIFICATION OF: Fr ELÍAS DEL SOCORRO NIEVES, Fr GIOVANNI BATTISTA PIAMARTA, Fr DOMENICO LENTINI, MOTHER MARY OF JESUS AND Sr MARIA TERESA FASCE HOMILY OF POPE JOHN PAUL II Sunday, 12 October 1997 1. "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" (Mk 10:17). This question, which in today’s Gospel text, was asked by a young man, has been put to Christ by countless generations of men and women, young and old, clerics and lay people. "What must I do to have eternal life?". It is a fundamental question for every Christian. We know Christ’s answer very well. He reminds his interlocutor above all to observe the commandments: "Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honour your father and mother" (Mk 10:19); cf. Ex 20:12-16). The young man replies enthusiastically: "Teacher, all these I have observed from my youth" (Mk 10:20). At this point, the Gospel emphasizes, the Lord looks lovingly at him and adds: "You lack one thing; go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me". However, the account tells us that "At that saying his countenance fell, and he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions" (Mk 10:21-22). 2. Instead, the new blesseds raised to the glory of the altars today, promptly and enthusiastically accepted Christ’s invitation: "Come, follow me!" and they followed him to the end.

    1 MARTINO CARBOTTI LA MIA FEDE nei Santi di ogni giorno Pugliesi Editore 2 Introduzione Non è assolutamente semplice per me, figlio, delineare la figura di mio padre: Ninuccio Carbotti. Non vi nascondo di averci pensato per molto tempo, dubbioso, circa i tanti aspetti su cui avrei dovuto soffermarmi e una delle domande che mi sono subito posto è stata: ma oltre alla figura di padre modello che io conoscevo, cos'altro conosco della vita di mio padre? E qui ho avuto delle perplessità ..... sì dico perplessità perché tutti i padri presumo hanno un determinato comportamento con i figli, dettato dal ruolo, c'è chi lo fà con più severità e chi meno, chi è pedante e chi meno, chi è accondiscendente e chi meno e via dicendo ma sicuramente tutti si apprestano a svolgere questo compito basilare con uno sconfinato e immenso amore !!! Ma un padre oltre a questo è anche un “uomo”ed è proprio il profilo umano, di uomo tra gli uomini, che mi ha portato ad iniziare questo lavoro, oserei dire di ricerca, esegetico, di tutti gli scritti e archiviazioni varie che con pazienza e passione certosina egli aveva iniziato ed implementato nei vari anni della sua vita. Ho avuto la fortuna di crescere in una famiglia molto unita, sotto tutti gli aspetti. Mio padre apparteneva a quelle belle famiglie di una volta, numerose: erano otto figli, madre, padre e “zizì” a carico (una zia di mia padre, sorella minore di mia nonna, la quale viveva sotto lo stesso tetto a causa di lievi problemi invalidanti) e come tradizione comanda, tutti i figli maschi e dico tutti nessuno escluso, hanno ereditato dal padre l'arte della lavorazione del legno.

    THE MAGAZINE OF LOYOLA UNIVERSITY CHICAGO WINTER 2012 Mundelein reborn PLUS PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2012 n HOMECOMING WELcome FROM THE PRESIDENT And CEO MICHAEL J. GARANZINI, S.J. Our world is a changing one. As we look at the world that our present students will inherit, we know that they will live in communities and participate in workplaces that are increasingly a mix of cultures, races, creeds, and values. We can see that technology will offer more and more information, and perhaps less and less analysis. We can envision a furthering of environmental degradation and depletion of the planet’s resources. And we anticipate that growing financial and educational gaps between and among different constituents in our societies will lead to even more political and social strife and upheaval around our worlds. Fundamentally, all education is about preparing students for their own future. It is about helping them become critical thinkers who can absorb and create new knowledge. It is about giving them the skills to lead and serve in the world they’re going to inhabit—in a world that will need their leadership.

Opera and Spanish Jesuit Evangelization in the New World Abstract As missionaries across the New World quickly discovered, Indians exhibited a strong attraction to music and song, but it was the Jesuits who were particularly adept at exploiting those musical interests to reinforce their argument that the Indians could adopt Christian faith, understand its principles, and live by its commands. One of the first operas in the New World is San Ignacio de Loyola (1720?), written by Domenico Zipoli, a famed Roman organ master, composer and Jesuit missionary. This essay brings to light the little known fact that Jesuit opera exists and also discusses how Zipoli's work was a unique collaboration between European missionaries and the Indians in the composition and performance of the music, as well as in the writing and singing of the Spanish libretto, which also included a parallel text in the native Chiquitos language.
