  • Companions on Mission
    Companions on Mission Formation Education Family Values Middle East Provincial Dear Friends, V. Rev. Thomas J. Regan, SJ As I write these words, two recent events really stand out in my Provincial Assistants mind as being emblematic of my six years as provincial. The first Rev. John J. Higgins, SJ event occurred on March 17 when I celebrated Mass for all those who Socius/Executive Assistant work at the provincial offices. The gospel for the feast of St. Patrick comes from the fifth chapter of Luke and focuses on Jesus’s command Rev. John T. Butler, SJ to Peter to put out into deep water and lower his nets for a catch. In Director of Vocations describing the scene, Luke notes that the catch is so abundant that Rev. Robert J. Daly, SJ hauling it in is only possible because sailors from a nearby boat come Assistant for Higher Education to the aid of Peter and his mates. He writes, “They came and together they filled the two boats until they nearly sank” (Luke 5:7). Rev. Richard A. Deshaies, SJ Assistant for Formation I couldn’t help but think that a similar action is repeated again and again each day throughout the New England Province. The stories and pictures in this edition of Margaret T. Florentine JESUITS reveal so powerfully how Jesuits working in schools, parishes, retreat houses, Assistant for Secondary Education in chaplaincies, in formation, and in caring for our elderly are able to do what we do because we work alongside so many dedicated men and women who believe in our Rev.

  • Spiritual Communion in a Digital Age: a Roman Catholic Dilemma and Tradition
    religions Article Spiritual Communion in a Digital Age: A Roman Catholic Dilemma and Tradition Edward Foley Catholic Theological Union, Chicago, IL 60615, USA; [email protected] Abstract: In the midst of this pandemic, most Christian Churches in the United States have been required to limit severely if not suspend face-to-face worship. The responses to this challenge when it comes to celebrating the Eucharist have been multiple. Frequent pastoral responses have included the shipping of consecrated elements to folk for their use during live-stream worship and virtual communion, in which worshippers employ elements from their own households as communion elements during the digitized worship. These options are not permitted for Roman Catholics. Instead, it is most common for Roman Catholics to be invited into spiritual communion. This is often considered a diminished, even ternary form of communing, quickly dispensed when quarantines are lifted and herd immunity achieved. On the other hand, there is a rich and thoughtful tradition about spiritual communion that recognizes it as an essential element in communion even when such is experienced face-to-face. This article intends to affirm the values of spiritual communion as a real, mystical and fruitful action that not only sustains people worshipping from afar, but enhances an authentic eucharistic spirituality. Keywords: virtual communion; live-streamed worship; pandemic; liturgy; spiritual communion Citation: Foley, Edward. 2021. Spiritual Communion in a Digital 1.
