Rome Jubilee Congress insights, Inside JESC and more

Just Talk | November 2019

Dear Friends,

The Jubilee Congress was a witness to the mission of Justice and Reconciliation, particularly put into action over the past 50 years. Witnessing came about very strongly and dispatched the group of over 200 participants by sharing the narratives of those who witnessed faith that pursued Justice by giving their own lives.

''Let us take advantage of this very special moment in which God once again is speaking to us and inviting us to remember, thank, discern and take bold, daring and risky decisions''

Full text of the speech by Father General

¨The start of the Congress, with the commemoration of the Martyrs, was strong for us. This could sound depressing, but on the contrary they are a sign of hope for us.''

Franck Janin SJ speaks of his impressions of the Congress and the efforts of the Society of Jesus for the past 50 years and in the future.

“Unless a grain of wheat dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit.”
To enter this challenge, let us begin with an attitude of gratitude - for the heavenly and earthly fruits received and collected.

Homily by Peter Rožič SJ

A small selection of pictures from the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Social Justice and Ecology Secretariat (SJES) in Rome. Over 200 participants from all over the world with one main goal: to redefine the orientation of the social apostolate of the Society of Jesus in order to be aligned with the new Universal Apostolic Preferences.
We are grateful for being part of the Congress and for giving our support to the longstanding endeavour of the SJES and the work made by lay organisations.

"Serving Faith and Promoting Justice."
