Every year, the Magis network offers Inigolib, a spiritual and festive gathering, to young people who have participated in one of its activities as well as to other young people who wish to get to know the spirituality of Saint Ignatius. Inigolib is animated by young people and companions, lay, religious and Jesuits alike. This year's edition took place at the end of January during the WYD in Panama.

100 young people met in Paris and 30 in Marseille. In both places, the same pedagogy was adopted: highlights with the local diocese (night hike, pilgrimage, international mass, etc.); keynote Marian speeches by Bruno Régent sj in Paris and Mgr Aveline, auxiliary bishop of Marseille; moments of prayer and singing; salsa dancing (yes, we did!); various testimonies and workshops with a very social dimension in Marseille.

Testimonials from participants:

"I came out of the Inigolib weekend particularly marked by the presentation given about Mary, an inspiration for our discernments. Being the great undecided person I am, mulling things over and over again, I found Mary's attitude to be very liberating. It is not a question of weighing the pros and cons, of falling into the trap of a career plan, of saying yes once you have been convinced by the program, but of trusting, believing before seeing, and constantly saying yes to what is before you. Father Bruno Régent summed it up well as: "joy in embracing reality". Mary helps us by her humble attitude. Above all, they are small questions that require a simple yet daily yes to renew our way of being a son/ daughter of God".

"I was very happy and I thank you for the opportunity to participate in this weekend in Marseille. A time of catechesis allowed us to enter directly into the theme of this year's WYD: With Mary, let us dare to say YES. For me, it was one of the highlights of the weekend. I particularly remember the fact that to commit, to say yes, is to give up. I spend my time giving up things although I'm not always aware of it. This is a point on which I can rely when making a choice. What I also found remarkable was the large number of young people involved, in one way or another, for a single cause. It is a true hope for my future and for our society. A second strong moment was the 'solidarity soup' experiment. Of course, the distribution remains the highlight, but I especially remember the time it took to prepare the soup. Everyone participated in their own way, which made for a united group. We shared this time with people who spoke, others less, but each time it was a different and unique exchange".
