Jesuit formators from all over Europe gathered for a workshop in Malta from 8 to 13 July. The theme was "Towards a healthy Jesuit lifestyle" since several recent formators' meetings have concluded that a healthy "normal" Jesuit life is the key to facing the many possible tensions and difficulties we need to face. Orlando Torres and Cecil Azzopardi, who worked together for many years in Rome as much-appreciated Rector and Spiritual Father at Gesù, animated the workshop in every sense of the word. Topics included the profile of the Jesuit formator, the local superior in the Society of Jesus, the role of spiritual direction, transparency, collaborating with God in Jesuit formation, self-evaluation, criteria for progress, balanced lifestyle and others. The diverse group of nine companions, from experienced to potential formators, came from the BOH, HUN, EUM, POR and PRO provinces. They enjoyed each other's company and the discussions, as well as the opportunity to visit the extraordinarily rich cultural heritage and scenery of Malta, not to forget about the great hospitality received at the Mount Saint Joseph Retreat House and by Cecil Azzopardi.
