We Welcome Pope Leo XIV
As members of the Ignatian family and the People of God, we offer our prayers of gratitude for the election of our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV.
May our good God help us and our new shepherd to continue our mission of faith, justice, and reconciliation.
St. Ignatius of Loyola, Pray for Us!
Care for Creation: Laudato Si’ in Action
We invite you to tune in to our limited audio reflection series, Laudato Si’ in Action, focused on caring for creation beginning May 20.
We are presenting this series in honor of the tenth anniversary of Laudato Si’, Pope Francis’ encyclical on the care for creation (May 24, 2025) and to honor Pope Francis’ legacy.
The series will feature five weekly reflections written by experts and collaborators in the field. Each week, we will offer valuable insights to inspire us to continue the work of caring for our brothers, sisters, and the world we call home.
Sign up here to receive an email with each week’s reflection.
A Prayer of Hope for Easter
There are Christians
Who have hysterical reactions
As if the world had slipped out of God's hands.
They are violent
As if they were risking everything.
But we believe in history.
The world is not a roll of the dice
On its way toward chaos.
A new world has begun to happen
Since Christ has risen.
Jesus Christ,
We rejoice in your definitive triumph
With our bodies still in the breach,
Our souls in tension;
We cry our first 'Hurrah!'
Till eternity unfolds itself.
Your sorrow now has passed.
Your enemies have failed.
You are the definitive smile for humankind.
What matter the wait now for us?
We accept the struggle and the death,
Because you, our love, will not die!
We march behind you on the road to the future.
You are with us. You are our immortality.
Take away the sadness from our faces;
We are not in a game of chance?
You have the last word!
Beyond the crushing of our bones,
Now has begun the eternal 'Alleluia!'
From the thousands of openings
In our wounded bodies and souls,
There now arises a triumphal song!
So teach us to give voice
To your new life throughout the world,
Because you dry the tears of the oppressed forever.
And death will disappear
