Rather than answer me with many words, another. For example, what is the they invited me to come and see, just as Jesus invited meaning of life? There could be various His first disciples today in the Gospel. answers to the question but Jesus gives us the most complete one. In the Gospel this weekend, There is difference between knowing about Jesus and He asks John and Andrew, who would become two of truly knowing Him. By extending the invitation, the first twelve apostles, “What are you looking for?” come and you will see, Jesus makes it known that It is a key question. In other words, where or in whom becoming one of His disciples is not just a matter of are you searching for meaning in life? They answer, curiosity. A faith journey may begin with curiosity “Teacher, where are you staying?” or Jesus, we are about wanting to know more about Jesus Christ, but it looking for you, we want to stay with you. Jesus does not end there. For if we truly want to know Him responds to their question by inviting them to “Come and our Catholic faith, we have to live it and follow and See.” He invites them to walk with Him, to follow His ways. This is the reason Jesus does not give His Him, to be his companions along the way.

Sanctity is intimacy with God; it is the imitation of Christ, poor, chaste and humble; it is unreserved love for souls and self-giving to their true good; it is love for the Church which is holy and wants us to be holy, because such is the mission that Christ has entrusted to it.” ~ Pope Saint John Paul II, Rome, Italy, October 13, 1984 You are Cordially Invited to First Solemn Mass of Thanksgiving at St. Patrick Church Saturday, June 3 at 5:30 pm The Beautiful Hands of a Priest What are the special graces associated with a first Mass and a priest’s blessing?

  • Becoming a Jesuit the Challenging and Rewarding Journey of Formation
    USA MIDWEST PROVINCE | FALL/WINTER 2020 Becoming a Jesuit The Challenging and Rewarding Journey of Formation Also in This Issue: n An Interview with Jesuit-Educated Comedian Bob Newhart n Campion High School’s Legacy Lives On n Ignatian Spirituality Project Takes Root in Dublin Dear Friends, As we near the end of 2020, I find myself reflecting on the ways that the world has changed over these last 12 months. The onset of the pandemic, followed by economic collapse, and the social and political upheaval of an election year—any of these would be remarkable on their own. Yet in all of this, we have adapted to find new ways of worshipping, socializing, working, sharing, and learning together. Yes, these adjustments were and continue to be stressful, but these are also times of grace, as we see faith and courage overcome desolation and fear. Perhaps that is why it’s no surprise that our schools across the Midwest rose swiftly to meet the challenges of COVID-19 (page 14), stepping up in the same way Jesuits have done since our founding. In Cincinnati, at Bellarmine Parish and Xavier University (page 20), the pandemic united the parish and university to work together in unique and innovative ways, as perhaps nothing else could have. At the same time, the Seminars in Ignatian Formation and Leadership (SIF) program (page 19) continued to offer training in the Spiritual Exercises to those serving at our Jesuit works. This vital program transitioned successfully to an online model, so that the ripple effect of this training continues.

A new set of proposed rules announced on Feb. 1 by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) attempts to accommodate objections raised by Catholic institutions, among others, that said the previous rules would force them to stop providing employee health insurance because the federal requirement to include coverage for abortifacients, sterilization and contraceptives coverage violates their religious beliefs.
