Union of minds and hearts – as
brothers and sisters, we listen for
the God who is present among
us, admitting no division based
on ethnicity, nationality,
background, age or gender.
Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam (For the
greater glory of God) – praising
God and dedicating oneself to
participate in God’s healing work
in the world.
Faith that does justice – the
realization that there can be no
true expression of faith where
concerns for justice and human
dignity are missing.
Contemplation in action – not a
monastic existence, but an active
one that is, at the same time,
infused with prayer.
Personal relationship with Christ
and love for the Church (bruised
and broken as it often is.)
Flexibility and adaptability –
(e.g.,16th Century Jesuits
wearing Chinese robes and
generally adapting to various
cultures; respecting people’s
lived experience.)
“The World is charged with the
grandeur of God” – the positive,
energetic and engaged vision of
God’s constant interaction with
creation.
Inner Freedom (the result of self-
awareness and discernment.)
God wants us to be our treselves-
joyous. When we are free, we
have freedom to love, to do
service and to have a good
relationship and dialogue with
God.
Reflection (Self-
awareness/Discernment) leading
to Gratitude which leads to
Service (linked to becoming a
“man or woman for others” – big
Ignatian buzzwords.)
Finding God in all things
