  • Ignatius and Ministry with Women
    IGNATIUS AND MINISTRY WITH WOMEN By JAMES W. REITES UCH CAN BE SAID ABOUT Ignatius Loyola's ministry to women, but not much has been written dealing with his collaborative ministry with women. 1 Yet it is clear that M women played a significant role in that ministry. Igna- tian spirituality, a spirituality of action, has been attractive to women from the beginning. 2 During Ignatius' day, when there were few avenues open to women for active apostolic life, that spirituality led to a collaborative ministry between Ignatius and women. What follows is firstly an attempt to sketch how women were co-workers with Ignatius and the earlyJesuits, and secondly to see if there is an overall pattern in these relationships that might present us with insights for creating collaborative ministries today. There are three main areas where Ignatius engaged in collabora- tive ministry with women: patronage, where women gave financial support for various apostolic works; advocacy, where Ignatius sought their influence to foster ministerial work; and active collaborative work, where women actively engaged in apostolic ministry. Many of these overlap; some women were involved in all three, some in only two or one. We will give examples of the most prominent women in Ignatius' ministry with women, choosing one area for each. An initial, brief reflection on the personal context of Ignatius' dealings with women will give us a better understanding of this collaborative ministry. Personal context It all began with a gift, from a woman to a woman. On September 2, 1498, the day of her wedding to Ignatius' brother, Don Martfn Garcfa de Loyola, Dofia Magdalena de Araoz received a gift of a painting of Mary from Queen Isabella the Catholic.

Their mis- sion came in response to a request by King John III of Portugal (1502– 1557), who had asked Ignatius for several Jesuits to convert the peoples in his colonial empire. Ignatius’s initial choices did not pan out. Bobadilla fell seriously ill, so Ignatius turned to his dear friend Xavier, who is said to have replied with a free and simple, “Here I am.” But when Xavier and Rodrigues arrived at the royal court, they impressed the king so much that he asked Rodrigues to remain and work in Portugal instead.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See BENEDICT XVI GENERAL AUDIENCE Paul VI Audience Hall Wednesday, 9 February 2011 [Video] Saint Peter Canisius Dear Brothers and Sisters, Today I want to talk to you about St Peter Kanis, Canisius in the Latin form of his surname, a very important figure of the Catholic 16th century. He was born on 8 May 1521 in Wijmegen, Holland. His father was Burgomaster of the town. While he was a student at the University of Cologne he regularly visited the Carthusian monks of St Barbara, a driving force of Catholic life, and other devout men who cultivated the spirituality of the so-called devotio moderna [modern devotion]. He entered the Society of Jesus on 8 May 1543 in Mainz (Rhineland — Palatinate), after taking a course of spiritual exercises under the guidance of Bl. Pierre Favre, Petrus [Peter] Faber, one of St Ignatius of Loyola’s first companions. He was ordained a priest in Cologne. Already the following year, in June 1546, he attended the Council of Trent, as the theologian of Cardinal Otto Truchsess von Waldburg, Bishop of Augsberg, where he worked with two confreres, Diego Laínez and Alfonso Salmerón. In 1548, St Ignatius had him complete his spiritual formation in Rome and then sent him to the College of Messina to carry out humble domestic duties. 2 He earned a doctorate in theology at Bologna on 4 October 1549 and St Ignatius assigned him to carry out the apostolate in Germany. On 2 September of that same year he visited Pope Paul III at Castel Gandolfo and then went to St Peter’s Basilica to pray.

  • St. Peter Canisius December 21
    Vol. 3 No. 12 PARISH NEWSLETTER DECEMBER, 2015 ST. PETER CANISIUS DECEMBER 21 eter, A Dutch man, was born in 1521. His father wanted him to be a lawyer. To please P him, young Peter began to study law before he had finished all his other studies. Soon enough, however, he realized that he would never be happy in that life. About that time, people all over were talking about the wonderful preaching of Blessed Peter Faber. He was one of the first members of the Jesuit order. When Peter Canisius listened to him, he knew he, too, would be happy serving God as a Jesuit. So he joined the order. After more years of study and prayer, he was ordained a priest. The great St. Ignatius soon realized what an obedient and zealous apostle St. Peter Canisius was. He sent him to Germany where Peter labored for forty years. It would be hard to name all St. Peter Canisius great works, prayers and sacrifices during that time. His concern was to save many cities of Germany from the heresies of the day. He also labored to bring back to the Catholic Church those who had accepted false teachings. It is said that he traveled about twenty thousand miles in thirty years. This he did on foot or on horseback. In spite of all this, St. Peter Canisius still found time to write books on the faith. He realized how important books are. So he made a campaign to stop bad books from being sold. And he did all he could to spread good books to teach the faith.

  • Provincial's Musings
    KS » August 2020 » Vol 93 » No. 08 PROVINCIAL’S MUSINGS e have initiated a new tradition in the Province. At the end of the academic year, every superior writes an annual letter to the Provincial. It is basically the view and Wreview of life and mission. One of the aspects that the 2019-20 annual letters high- lighted was the fruitful community life. The annual letters concurred that it was the annual plan, which is drawn up at the beginning of every academic year, and the integration of three things: a simple lifestyle, deep life in the spirit and a strong life in common that ushered in a fruitful community, and consequently, aggressive apostolic life. By and large, communities adopted a simple lifestyle with adequate facilities and each one made an effort to grow in contemplation even in action: the scho- lastic communities introduced the practice of praying together in the chapel, some apostolic communities began the common Eucharist in the morning, regular faith sharing during the monthly recollections, and yet others started common prayer sessions for domestic helpers on weekends. One of the much sought after activities in the communities was the evening recreation. Af- ter supper, all sat together to relax and to relate experiences. It was fun, a booster to work and the strength to face crises. The other main feature of our communities was consultation. There were a variety of meetings: community and consult, registered society and core group, and of course, the meeting of the individual Jesuits and DoWs with the superior. As this ini- tiative made the Jesuits feel valued, it unleashed creativity and commitment.
