The Society of Jesus goes back in its origins to the Ignatian experiences, which we will call to mind in the Ignatian year (2021-2022). It gives us a good opportunity to make known our spiritual root, that spiritual source that feeds and nourishes us in so many different ways and places. Deepening and renewing our own interior freedom and energy for the magis opens us to new and enriching perspectives. These can come from accompanying young people, from the hope that drives us to participate in the collective effort that seeks to heal the wounds of nature and prepare a better world for future generations.

Fr. General in his letter to the whole Society on September 27, 2019.
