Time to be grateful for what we have experienced. 

168 young people from the Ignatian network have experienced a MAG+S summer. In addition, 21 of them participated in the Sentido Sur experiences. The search for meaning and the encounter with others continue to mark the roadmap of these experiences in a summer, that of 2022, marked by the return to the pre-pandemic dynamic. 

14 experiences in Spain and 4 international ones during the months of July and August have made up the MAG+S mosaic of this summer 2022. 

The Sentido Sur experiences have finally returned after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. Bolivia, Cameroon, Chad and Peru have been the destinations of a journey that actually began in January with the training meetings. 

The social realities they have come to know in these countries have opened new horizons and shortened distances, towards a global and common fraternity. Nor have they finished now, as they will do so in a few months, with a few days of spiritual retreat in Loyola to go over what they have experienced again in their hearts. 

Back in Spain, the volunteers have taken their service to Apertas (Santiago), Atalaya (Burgos), Construyendo Puentes (Almería), Encuentro y Reconciliación (San Sebastián), Jóvenes solidarios ODN (Granada), Pinos Puente (Granada), Servir más en la Frontera (Melilla), Servir más Málaga and Servir más San Fran (Bilbao). 

The MAG+S circle, the summer notebook, personal prayer, knowledge and training in social problems and living together in simplicity are some of the common keys to all the experiences. 

The Spiritual Exercises in Javier and Re-Cordar have been the experiences aimed at discernment and a deepening of faith. But they are joined by other proposals that add a special feature to this summer of following Jesus. They are Vivir con Deportividad, which brings together sportsmen and women who want to continue searching through faith, and Servir más Valladolid, which helps to understand a little more about the relationship between the care of creation and the care of people, based on ecology and welcome. 

In addition, for all those who would like to follow in the footsteps of Saint Ignatius in his conversion, groups of pilgrims have continued to open in Ignatius Challenge this summer. An online experience that continues to add pilgrims from all over the world, bringing the total number of pilgrims since January to 1904. 

After two years of minimums, the young people have been able to live again with intensity and fullness experiences that leave a mark. They will return to them during their process of faith, from memory, promoting personal and community growth that will undoubtedly bear fruit.
