مراحل في رسالة يسوعيّ

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!

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

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.

On this feast of the Nativity of Mary, we two Jesuits living and working in Bethlehem, Palestinian Territories, went down to the Basilica of the Nativity to ask a random pilgrim from India to take our picture for you. As you know, Ignatius came as a pilgrim to the Holy Land from Sept 1 st to 22 nd in 1523, and it was on Sept. 8 that they came down to Bethlehem to pray in the cave where Jesus was born to Mary. He prayed to come back here to celebrate his first Mass. Perhaps it was here in this place at that time that he heard the call to the priesthood. His return was rendered impossible by more Venetian and Turkish mischief, so he decided to say his First Mass before the Manger which had made its Own pilgrimage to Rome. What he learned from this is that the Holy Land is where you stand, and the Lamb is in our hands at the moveable Feast of the Mass, the Eucharist in which Jesus laid his life on the line and left the rest to his Father. So here we are, 500 years later, greeting you from a determining place in his own life journey, where he also included himself and us in his portrait of the Holy Family: “the poor unworthy slave, ready to serve them in their needs” (Sp. Ex. 114).

P. Garrett Gundlach, S.J.

D’Ankara à Belfast, Le Caire, Ephèse, Nicée, Eskişehir, Almaty (et bien d’autres lieux!)

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.
