مراحل في رسالة يسوعيّ
يتيح العمل في الرسالة على مشاهدة حضور الله في خليقته، وتلمّس أعماله الجميلة والمحيّة في كلّ مخلوقاته. لكن هذه المشاهدة ليست سهلة، لأنّها تحتاج إلى قراءة يوميّة للأحداث والمواقف على ضوء نظر الله المحبّ.
Easter Greetings from the AMC!
It has been a challenging year for many migrants in Lebanon. Our community members have weathered rising rents and scarcer work, fears of expanding conflict, travel restrictions, and a whole host of daily difficulties. And yet, Easter joy abounds! The joy of the resurrection was made obvious this last week here in the AMC. Our whole community gathered for the Paschal Triduum to walk with Christ through his death and resurrection.
Tertianship is what tertians give to each other
The third batch of tertians in Bikfaya have just graduated their school of the heart. Theirs has been a very particular class. It is true of every class, and of each tertian. But armed conflicts leading to displacements and disruptions are not a common tertianship experiment. I am so grateful that all participants kept safe and well, and even drew no little spiritual profit from the difficult situation in which they found themselves.

Friends abroad have been checking in lately on the situation in Beirut and I must admit that it took me a great deal of tears and courage to admit (first to myself and then to them) that, on many days, we are not okay. The Port explosion felt like our cannonball moment. It not only destroyed our city, but also shattered our sense of security, our dreams, and our certainties. The blast exposed a grief that refused to be consoled and that only seemed to grow bigger with the economic crisis, currency devaluation and governance vacuum.
Standing in and looking at this reality has been terrifying yet deeply softening, and would not have been possible without a gaze of faith and a sense of community. When reality felt too heavy to face alone, it was often with others that I was able to experience an opening. On 4 August 2021 at 6:07pm, one year after the blast, we gathered in silence around the Beirut Port and observed a moment of mourning. In the middle of fragmentation and isolation, we found dignity, hope and commitment in holding our wounds together, and standing in solidarity with victims, their families and thousands we did not know.

D’Ankara à Belfast, Le Caire, Ephèse, Nicée, Eskişehir, Almaty (et bien d’autres lieux!)
Qu’est-ce que vous faites à Ankara? Telle est souvent une des premières questions que j’entends lorsque je voyage. Chacun de nous quatre avons bien sûr nos activités habituelles: Michael écrit pour diverses publications (maintenant sur “l’appel universel à la sainteté”); Changmo étudie le turc, commence à s’engager avec les jeunes à la paroisse et s’acclimate peu à peu à la Turquie; Alexis, responsable de cette paroisse turcophone et de la formation de ses catéchumènes, est également impliqué dans des médias et la gestion pratique de la résidence; quant à moi, supérieur de celle-ci, je travaille dans la formation et l’accompagnement au service de l’Église de Turquie, et ai quelques engagements en dehors du pays pour le dialogue interreligieux, à divers titres.
