May Christ Be Born in Each One of Our Hearts And Social Justice and Ecology Secretariat of the Society of Jesus ENG 17 December 2012 ...to exchange social justice and ecology news, stimulate contacts, share spirituality and promote networking... Greetings The SJE Secretariat wishes each one of you A Merry Christmas and A Challenging New Year! May Christ be born in each one of our hearts and live among us throughout the coming year! Narrative Called to Companion I work in Camden, New Jersey. It is America's poorest and most violent city of its size and this year we are on course to set a new homicide record. Put in perspective, if New York City were to have the murder rate of Camden this year, it would mean that close to 6000 people would have been killed already. Poverty is very high and youth drop out of school at a rate of 70 percent. We are a young city with half of the population under the age of 25 and getting younger every year. My work involves youth ages 14-23, helping them get back into school, away from violence and moving towards healing and hope. What have I learned from my ministry? I have learned that poverty is not pretty, nor is it romantic. The traumatic experiences of violence, abuse and endemic poverty deeply wound the people of Camden. Like war survivors, they have learned behaviors of survival that often help them exist in ugly ways. In this environment violence is normalized, abuse is tolerated, and grief is denied. This leads to many people struggling with how to manage their own anger, disappointment, and stress. I see this exploding in shootings, domestic violence and neglect of children. It is a hard place for the people who live here. I have found that the face of Christ Crucified is not recognized. In fact, the face of the poor is often stigmatized by cultural "norms and values." Christ's face in Camden is disfigured by years of trauma, often times cloaked in racial and class stereotypes. The face of Christ that reflects the trauma of this city isn't accepted outside of our borders. Instead, it is a face that many seem to turn away from, whether that be through accusation or by demanding that the face be healed before it becomes part of our community, our school, our "way of life." For me personally, I struggle with Christ's crucified body at times because it seems easier to go somewhere else and not encounter it, to experience a world where life isn't crucified the way it is in Camden. I find I often experience an emotional dissonance when I am not in Camden for life seems oddly different, comfortable and lacking in what I know in the city. It is not that there is no suffering in other parts of the world, but rather it is that there is a capacity to be present to it, to find support, presence and even companionship in a way that seems quite elusive here. In Camden, the abundance of God seems drained away by the daily onslaught of the situation. Yet, odd as it may seem, I find God in Camden. I feel called to be present here, deeply moved by a sense of justice and a gnawing call that God deeply cares about this situation, that I join Jesus in wanting to be present here. I often find consolation in the mediation of the Trinity wanting to enter the world and the Son being sent forth. I find myself wondering, "Does Camden exhaust God?" What is it to be incarnate here? What must it be like for Jesus to experience his creation, his beloved being, so mistreated? It is in these moments, perhaps much like running a race, when I touch Jesus' desire and find a "new breath" about me. It is not that I often feel successful here. Whereas so many ministries in the Society are ones of "success," where youth gain degrees, where sports championships are proudly won, where we measure campus growth and the amount our youth who earn scholarships, I find myself more aligned with the ministry of "failure." The people I work with fail all of the time. Their progress is not "linear;" very few begin as freshman and finish as seniors. Rather, their paths meander, going from "a to g to f to p to b." Things are always falling apart. Evictions, fights, bills, illnesses, and incarcerations makes it hard to get any momentum much of the time. Progress in Camden isn't quite like what I grew up with. Accompaniment doesn't look, nor does it feel, "successful," the way it seems when I say mass at a local Jesuit university or visit a suburban parish Yet, amazingly, Christ is alive here. I deeply experience God's desire for life here, to heal the vast wound that is here, to touch and be present to a people who are maligned and forgotten. The labor of God and the invitation to "not count the cost" seems offered with frequency. Recently, we have begun to plant crosses to remember the many killed in our city this year. We have two places in the city where once, and often twice, a week, we come together and install crosses with the murder victims' names and ages on them. Various community members will ornately decorate the crosses for the victims. Sometimes they know the individuals and other times they do not. However, they do this with a tenderness and care that lovingly names a pain that often goes silenced. The symbolic crosses and the people that create and maintain them very much remain close to Christ's cross like a modern day Golgatha. Similar to the women who stood faithfully at the foot of the cross, a cross that many people in Jerusalem that day did not know about, our community faithfully comes together to believe, to comfort, to embrace in the expectation of God. This hope is not easy; it requires quite a bit of sweat here in Camden. I am amazed to find colleagues, friends, and ordinary folks who desire this. They give me solace, and I am strengthened by their faithfulness towards the crucified Christ.

Philippines - Greening Jesuit houses in the Philippines Jesuit scholastics in the Loyola House of Studies located in the Ateneo de Manila University campus have embarked on a series of initiatives to raise awareness about care for the environment in community lifestyle and house management. The initiative of the scholastics was prompted by General Congregation 35 and further fuelled by "Healing a Broken World," which serves as a guiding document for activities focused on the environment.

Brazil - Manaus: Fire engulfs the slum where Jesuits live among the poor On 27th November a strong fire consumed, within a few hours (8- 13h), the Arthur Bernardes slum of palafitos (raised houses in wood in areas that may be flooded) in Manaus, at the heart of the Brazilian Amazonia. Out of 550 families living there with a population of around 2.500 - 3.000 persons, more than 500 families lost their houses and their little belongings. Thanks to God and to the abilities of the poor, nobody died. Members of the Equipo Itinerante have been living there for years, accompanying the communities in this area. Europe - Communities of Solidarity: New style of Jesuit community life Twenty four Jesuits from European Conference, including the President of the Conference Fr. John Dardis, came together for a three-day sharing and reflection on the above theme, in Madrid from 23-25 November. Six communities (Loiolaetxea, Durango, La Ventilla & Sevilla from Spain; La Viale from Belgium; and Paulo Freire Institute of Faith & Justice from Malta) who live their Jesuit community life with the deprived migrants and prisoners shared their experiences of how they initiated, lived and discerned together as Jesuits and how this has challenged and changed their own commitment as Jesuits. The meeting created much interest among all and the organizers planned to share their reflection with others soon. India - Spirit of Late Sr. Valsa lives among the Indigenous to fight for their rights On the first death anniversary of Sr. Valsa John, allegedly murdered by mining mafia at Pachuara, Jharkhand-India on 15 November 2011, around 3,000 indigenous people from the villages, sat on a protest and blocked the transport of coal from the mines. Late Sr. Valsa had spent almost a decade mobilizing the people against their displacement and the company had agreed on a decent rehabilitation package, which became difficult after her murder. The present protest was spearheaded by Fr. Tom Kavalakatt SJ, the coordinator of Rajmahal Pahar Bachao Andolan. The day and night sit-in protest included children, women, and youth of the villages and also two strong political leaders, which boosted the bargaining power of the people. After 21 days of protest, the managing director of PANEM private mining company, came and signed an agreement with the Rajamahal Pahar Bachao Andolan members promising to implement the entire rehabilitation package.

  • Pope Advances Sainthood Causes of Marianne Cope, Kateri Tekakwitha
    Pope advances sainthood causes of Marianne Cope, Kateri Tekakwitha VATICAN CITY – Pope Benedict XVI advanced the sainthood causes of Blessed Marianne Cope of Molokai and Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha. He also formally recognized the martyrdom of 64 victims of the Spanish Civil War and advanced the causes of 18 other men and women. During a meeting Dec. 19 with Cardinal Angelo Amato, prefect of the Congregation for Saints’ Causes, the pope signed the decrees recognizing the miracles needed for the canonizations of Blesseds Marianne and Kateri. Before a date is set for the canonization ceremonies, there must be an “ordinary public consistory,” a formal ceremony opened and closed with prayer, during which cardinals present in Rome express their support for the pope’s decision to create new saints. Blessed Marianne, who worked as a teacher and hospital administrator in New York, spent the last 30 years of her life ministering on the Hawaiian island of Molokai to those with leprosy. She died on the island in 1918 at age 80 and was beatified in St. Peter’s Basilica in 2005. Blessed Kateri, known as the Lily of the Mohawks, was born to a Christian Algonquin mother and a Mohawk father in 1656 in upstate New York along the Hudson River. She was baptized by a Jesuit missionary in 1676 when she was 20, and she died in Canada four years later. In June 1980, she became the first Native American to be beatified. Pope Benedict also recognized miracles attributed to the intercession of five other people, who now can be declared saints.

Mk 10:45) Dear Brother Bishops, Dear brothers and sisters! Today the Church listens again to these words of Jesus, spoken by the Lord during his journey to Jerusalem, where he was to accomplish the mystery of his passion, death and resurrection. They are words which enshrine the meaning of Christ’s mission on earth, marked by his sacrifice, by his total self-giving. On this third Sunday of October, on which we celebrate World Mission Sunday, the Church listens to them with special attention and renews her conviction that she should always be fully dedicated to serve mankind and the Gospel, after the example of the One who gave 2 himself up even to the sacrifice of his life. I extend warm greetings to all of you who fill Saint Peter’s Square, especially the official delegations and the pilgrims who have come to celebrate the seven new saints. I greet with affection the Cardinals and Bishops who, during these days, are taking part in the Synodal Assembly on the New Evangelization. The coincidence between this ecclesiastical meeting and World Mission Sunday is a happy one; and the word of God that we have listened to sheds light on both subjects.

  • Homily of Fr. James M. Hayes, S. J., at the Jesuit Community Mass
    HOMILY OF FR. JAMES M. HAYES, S. J., AT THE JESUIT COMMUNITY MASS, THE COLLEGE OF THE HOLY CROSS, FEAST OF ALL SAINTS AND BLESSED OF THE SOCIETY OF JESUS, NOVEMBER 5, 2012 Moses grasped an insight which is available to all of us. Moses discovered how one can be in communion with God. Through repeated ascents up a mountain, through long fasts and prayer, Moses listened to God’s voice. He taught Israel that God was close to us as our hearts, as our very breath. Ignatius, too, learned this lesson. Through his many months lying on his sickbed, during his year in Manresa, Ignatius discovered the closeness of God. He realized that God desires to be in intimate companionship with us. The other insight Ignatius discovered was the power of intercession. Ignatius instinctively knew to whom to pray. Some prayers he addressed to God the Father, some to Jesus, some to the Holy Spirit, and some to Mary and the saints. We hold the belief in the communion of saints and thanks to the research of Father Lapomarda, I have learned that the Society of Jesus has fifty-one canonized saints, one hundred fifty one Jesuits who have been beatified, nineteen venerables, and fifty-nine servants of God. That’s an impressive collection of intercessors. Each of them was a grain of wheat that fell into the ground and bore fruit. The Society of Jesus has an orchard of saints to choose from for us who remain on this pilgrim journey. Here are some suggestions for the students among us.

  • Mass Intentions in Testimonium…
    St. John the Beloved Catholic Church in McLean, Virginia JANUARY 5, 2014 MASS INTENTIONS IN TESTIMONIUM… On March 16,17 and 18 we will be blessed with the preaching of Monday, January 6 Fr. George Rutler, who will be leading our annual Forty Hours Saint Andre Bessette, Religious Devotion this year.
