Immersion Program for Jesuits: Bible and Spirituality in the Holy Land
The Program will be an opportunity to pray, visit, study and share the Land of our roots, where everything began. It can be a wonderful opportunity to live with other Jesuits in their formation journey from different parts of the world, a unique experience of faith and of the Society. The Bible, the Holy Land, Jesus and Ignatius will be our companions on this journey.
The Program offers an 8-days Retreat session in Jerusalem, followed by a “Pilgrimage” in the Land focused on the discovery of the Incarnation of God in the History of the People of Israel (Visits in the Judean Desert and into the Negev Desert) and in the Journey of Jesus (Visits in Galilee).
