View this bulletin online at www.DiscoverMass.com PASTOR’S COLUMN Dear Brothers and Sisters, Last week I announced that we are working on a special evening of music to honor our patron saint, Ignatius of Loyola. His feast day is this Friday, July 31st, and to mark the occasion you are invited to come and fill your heart with beautiful music. The music department is planning and practicing, making ready for an evening to be uplifted with the glory and honor that is due to our loving God. Organ, trumpet, solo voices, piano and other instruments joining together – at proper distancing and masking – to give God glory and praise – imagine the beauty that surround us! To help you envision the plan, think of what it is like coming to Mass; but, instead of Mass, it will be a time filled with music, that is, sacred music, to honor and give thanks to the Lord. Our lead organists will be Andrew Salyer, our Director of Music, who holds a Master of Musicology from Rice University and Dr. John-Eric Gunderson, who holds a Master of Music, Music Performance from Yale University and a Doctor of Musical Arts from Rice University. Tom Tillotson will play trumpet. And two wonderful soloists will join us – our own Donna White and Dr. Laura Avery, head of Musical Theatre at Sam Houston State University, will be our soloists for the evening. There will be a special guest appearance from an “unknown” organist and the LifeTeen Band will round out the evening. Mark your calendars. The evening begins at 7:30 pm with the doors opening at 7:00 pm. Seating will be limited to the 25% capacity of our church’s nave. Come out of the heat – and join us in the house of God as we honor St. Ignatius of Loyola: The Saint and The Parish. Admission is free; however, we ask that you bring a package of knitting yarn as a donation for our Prayer Shawl Ministry. We will continue with our parish celebration of our patron saint by transferring his feast as a solemnity for all our Masses next weekend. The Liturgical Calendar allows the “feast” to become a “solemnity” in our parish community since St. Ignatius Loyola is the title of our parish church. And, because it ranks as “solemnity” the general norms also indicate that we are able to transfer the celebration to the Sunday. For the pastoral good of the faithful, it is permitted to observe on Sundays in Ordinary Time those celebrations that fall during the week and that are agreeable to the devotion of the faithful, provided the celebrations rank above that Sunday in the Table of Liturgical Days.

  • Manresa and Saint Ignatius of Loyola
    JOAN SEGARRA PIJUAN was born in Tárrega, Spain on June 29, 1926. He joined the Society of Jesus in 1942. Seventeen years later he completed his religious and cultural education. On July 29, 1956 – in the Year of Saint Ignatius – he was ordained at the cathedral in Manresa. He has spent much of his life in Veruela, Bar- celona, Sant Cugat del Vallès, Palma (Majorca), Raimat, Rome and Man- resa and has also lived in a number of countries in Central and South Ameri- ca, Africa and Europe. He has always been interested in spi- ritual theology and the study of Saint Ignatius of Loyola. SAINT IGNA- TIUS AND MANRESA describes the Saint’s sojourn here in a simple, rea- dable style. The footnotes and exten- sive bibliography will be of particular interest to scholars wishing the study the life of St. Ignatius in greater de- tail. This book deals only with the months Saint Ignatius spent in Man- resa, which may have been the most interesting part of his life: the months of his pilgrimage and his mystical en- lightenments. Manresa is at the heart of the Pilgrim’s stay in Catalonia because “between Ignatius and Man- resa there is a bond that nothing can break” (Torras y Bages).

Geger: Myths, Misquotes, and Misconceptions about St. Ignatius Loyola Myths, Misquotes and Misconceptions about St. Ignatius Loyola Fr. Barton T. Geger, S.J. Regis University ([email protected]) Abstract A number of inaccuracies are circulating in the field of Ignatian Spirituality that can hinder a richer and more profitable understanding of the saint and his doctrine. Jesuits and colleagues would do well to remain conscious of the conditions that generate and perpetuate these inaccuracies. Also included in this essay is the true origin of a quotation popularly attributed to Fr. Pedro Arrupe, SJ, “There is nothing more practical than finding God.” Introduction makes it risky to deny that something is to be found inside. Today, however, one can search U.S. Jesuits and colleagues in the last sixty years most of these sources electronically or with have made tremendous strides in the promotion concordances.

  • Theatrical Elements in Baroque Festivals (The Jesuit Celebrations in the Golden Age)1
    THEATRICAL ELEMENTS IN BAROQUE FESTIVALS (THE JESUIT CELEBRATIONS IN THE GOLDEN AGE)1 Ignacio Arellano GRISO-Universidad de Navarra Feast of the saints and dramatic elements In the set of elements integrated into festive and spectacular Ba- roque hagiographical celebrations, there are some theatrical and para- theatrical. These elements vary from the more or less didactic and religious to the fun, close to the more grotesque comicalness. The are especially important the series of Jesuit celebrations2 of the first and last decades of the seventeenth century with the beatifi- cation and canonization of Saint Ignatius, Saint Francis Xavier and Saint Francis de Borja (comprehensible due to the strong tendency of the Society of Jesus towards didactic uses of theatre). Other manifes- tations can be added also in the canonization of Saint Theresa, Saint Philip Neri and Saint Isidro (at the same time as Saint Ignatius and Saint Francis, 1622). These celebrations muss be added to those dedi- cated to Immaculate Conception that proliferate throughout the Golden Age. 1 This article is sponsored by TC/12, the project of Consolider-Ingenio 2010, CSD2009-00033, of the National Plan for Scientific Research, Development and Technological Innovation of Spain. 2 For these celebrations see Serrano Martín, 2010; provided, however, little at- tention to the theatrical elements.

  • In Honor of St. Ignatius of Loyola and the Ignatian Year
    JULY 2021 In Honor of St. Ignatius of Loyola and the Ignatian Year In this SPECIAL EDITION of the English Bulletin, we would like to share with you selected articles and references for deepening the Ignatian Year at your own pace and time. May they be means to God through St. Ignatius of Loyola, whose Feast we celebrate on July 31. We encourage the readers to use them for spiritual reading, personal reflection and prayer, and in the process be transformed and renewed gently by God. They are recommended for spiritual conversations and faith sharing in the various Ministries and Groups in the parish, so that together, we may all fix our gaze more on Christ and “see all things new in Him.” Indeed, we are blessed in belonging to a parish that bears the name of this great Saint and in being able to drink from the fountain of his charism and spirituality. St. Ignatius of Loyola is A GIFT TO THE CHURCH AND THE WORLD! A Courtier’s Conversion against him which mentioned 'terrible further elaborate themselves into behavior Fr.

  • St. Ignatius of Loyola and the Jews By
    in the Spirituality of Jesuits St. Ignatius of Loyola and the Jews by James W. Reites, S.J. Published by the American Assistancy Seminar on Jesuit Spirituality, especially for American Jesuits working out their aggiornamento in the spirit of Vatican Council II September, 1981 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 Provincial of the United States. The Purpose of the Seminar is to study topics pertaining to the spir- itual doctrine and practice of Jesuits, especially American Jesuits, and to communicate the results to the members of the Assistancy. The hope is that this will lead to further discussion among all American Jesuits--in private, 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 wel- come reactions or comments in regard to the topics they publish. To achieve these purposes, especially amid today's pluralistic cul- tures, the Seminar must focus its direct attention sharply, frankly, and specifically on the problems, interests, and opportunities of the Jesuits of the United States. However, many of these interests are common also to Jes- uits of other regions, or to other priests, religious men or women, or lay men or women. Hence the studies of the Seminar, while meant especially for American Jesuits, are not exclusively for them.

    Marquette University e-Publications@Marquette History Faculty Research and Publications History, Department of 1-1-1984 For the Greater Glory of God: St. Ignatius Loyola John Donnelly S.J. Marquette University, [email protected] Published Version. "For the Greater Glory of God: St. Ignatius Loyola," in Leaders of the Reformation. Ed. Richard L. DeMolen. Selinsgrove PA. Susquehanna University Press, 1984: 153-177. DOI. © 1984 Susquehanna University Press. Used with permission 6 For the Greater Glory of God: St~ Ignatius Loyola JoHN PATRICK DoNNELLY, S.J.* Ignatius Loyola is a central figure, perhaps the prototypical figure of the Counter-Reformation, and the way he has been seen partly reflects the way historians of the early twentieth century have viewed the Counter­ Reformation. The word Counter-Reformation and its equivalents in all west- · ern languages have negative connotations: it has been seen as a movement that revivifies medieval ideals against humanism or that blocks the mod­ ernization of the church through the creative, enlightened forces of Protes­ tantism, thereby insuring a sterile period between the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. Increasingly, contemporary historians have abandoned such simple ·views. Art historians, for instance, have come to a more favor:. able view of the Baroque and the Jesuit role in art from 1550 to 1700. 1 Historians, such as Jean Delumeau and A. G. Dickens, have tried to study the Counter-Reformation on its own merits, seeing it in relation to the social, intellectual, and cultural development of Catholic Europe and showing how it unleashed forces that remained influential down into the eighteenth century.

  • Ignazio Di Loyola
    BIBLIOTECA UNIVERSITARIA DI GENOVA – PERCORSI TEMATICI UNIVERSALITAS & PERVASIVITAS il costituirsi e diffondersi della S.J. e suoi echi (1540 - 1773) di A. Pisani Schede autori Atti costitutivi, ordinamenti, agiografie, etc. Ignazio di Loyola La liturgia così ci presenta S.Ignazio di Loyola nel giorno della sua festa (31 luglio): "Ferito all’assedio di Pamplona (1521) maturò nella lettura della vita di Cristo la decisione di passare dal servizio militare alla sequela del Signore. Fondò a Montmartre (Parigi) nel 1534 la Compagnia di Gesù (Gesuiti) per la maggior gloria di Dio e a servizio della Chiesa, in obbedienza totale al successore di Pietro. La sua esperienza spirituale è espressa negli Esercizi spirituali da lui composti a Manresa (1523), che divennero una classica guida per l’itinerario spirituale. Promosse la catechesi e l’apostolato missionario ed ebbe tra i suoi discepoli Francesco Saverio". San Francesco Saverio, apostolo dell’Oriente, fu dichiarato Patrono principale delle Missioni Cattoliche, e a lui fu poi associata come Compatrona S. Teresa di Lisieux (S.Teresa del Bambino Gesù), vissuta tra il 1873 e il 1897. Sua vita nel mondo Iñigo Lopez de Loyola - tale il suo nome originario, che egli cambiò in Ignazio dopo la sua conversione - nacque, ultimo di 13 figli, nel 1491, nel castello di Loyola, nella Terra dei Baschi della Spagna settentrionale. Ricevette l’educazione cavalleresca propria del suo ceto. NeI 1517 entrò a servizio del Viceré di Navarra. Amava l’avventura e infervorava la sua mente leggendo romanzi cavallereschi. Quando nel 1521 scoppiò la guerra tra Francesco I di Francia e il giovane Imperatore di Spagna Carlo V, i Francesi entrarono in territorio spagnolo e marciarono alla conquista della città di Pamplona.

  • Ignacio De Loyola. on September 27, 1540, Pope Paulus III Gave Formal Approbation of the Society of Jesus by the Bull Regimini Militantis Ecclesiae
    Ignacio de Loyola. On September 27, 1540, Pope Paulus III gave formal approbation of the Society of Jesus by the bull Regimini militantis ecclesiae. With the Pope's signature the Society of Jesus, as a fully canonical religious order, had become a reality. On March 4, 1541, during Lent, the first Jesuits gathered to work in the constitutions. They agreed to choose a Superior General for life. The first election was very solemnly conducted on April 2, 1541. During three days the six companions gave themselves up to prayer for guidance in their choice. Then their sealed votes, together with those of the absentees previously obtained, except Bobadilla's, were placed in a box and left to be, as it were, consecrated by a further three days of prayer. At length the time arrived to scrutinize them: "Jesus. Excluding myself, I give my vote in Our Lord to him who receives a majority of votes to be the superior. I have given it indeterminately for good reasons, but if the Society thinks otherwise, or that it is better and more to the glory of God for me to particularize, I am ready to do so." Ignacio "I, Francisco, say and affirm, . that the one to be elected general in our Society is, in my judgment, our old leader and true father, Don Ignacio, who brought us together with no little labor, . and that, after his death, his successor is to be Father Peter Favre..." Xavier "Concerning the first superior general to whom we are to vow obedience, I give my vote to Ignacio, and in his absence by death, which God forbid, to Master Francis Xavier...."

  • Jesuit Winemaking and Art Production in Northern New Spain
    journal of jesuit studies 6 (2019) 294-314 brill.com/jjs Jesuit Winemaking and Art Production in Northern New Spain Katherine Moore McAllen University of Texas Rio Grande Valley [email protected] Abstract This article presents new research on Jesuit visual culture in northern New Spain, situ- ating Santa María de las Parras (founded 1598) as an important site where the Jesuits and secular landowners became involved in the lucrative business of winemaking. Viticulture in Parras helped transform this mission settlement into a thriving center of consumption. The Jesuits fostered alliances with Spanish and Tlaxcalan Indians to serve their religious and temporal interests, as these patrons donated funds to deco- rate chapels in the Jesuit church of San Ignacio. This financial support allowed the Society to purchase paintings by prominent artists in Mexico City and import them to Parras. The Jesuits arranged their chapels in a carefully ordered sequencing of images that promoted Ignatian spirituality and echoed iconographic decoration programs in Mexico City and Rome. Keywords Jesuit art and architecture – Northern New Spain – colonial Mexico – viticulture – Tlaxcalan Indians – patronage – Santa María de las Parras Between the late sixteenth and the eighteenth centuries, the Jesuits and Fran- ciscans founded their missions along the northern border regions of the Span- ish viceroyalty of New Spain, which today comprises Mexico and portions of the American Southwest. The focus of these religious orders was to promote evangelization and protect the physical boundaries of the empire. Members of the Society of Jesus also established economic enterprises that played a key role in the Jesuits’ and the Spanish crown’s successful expansion into northeastern © Katherine Moore McAllen, 2019 | doi:10.1163/22141332-00602006 This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the prevailing cc-by-nc license at the time of publication.
