Dear Companions, dear friends of the Society of Jesus

It is with great joy that we share with you Father General Arturo Sosa's publication of the four UNIVERSAL APOSTOLIC PREFERENCES that will guide the life and mission of Reconciliation and Justice (36 GC) of the Society of Jesus for the next 10 years.

Pope Francis himself entrusted us with these preferences. Let us welcome them with an open and generous heart and, knowing the will of God, let us ask Him for the grace, in Saint Ignatius' words, "to fulfill it entirely".

Franck Janin SJ
President of the Jesuit Conference of European Provincials

 

The fruit of a universal discernment of two years

After General Congregation 36 in 2016, a discernment process has been set up in all the Jesuit Conferences, at all levels of the Society of Jesus.

In January 2019 Fr. General Arturo Sosa met with his enlarged council to finalize the discernment before bringing the result to Pope Francis, who accepted them after having prayed with them.

On February 19th at noon Fr. General has released the fruit of this universal discernment.

 

These are the 4 preferences that will be in effect for 10 years:

1. PROMOTING DISCERNMENT AND THE SPIRITUAL EXERCISES

Helping people find Jesus Christ and follow Him


2. WALKING WITH THE EXCLUDED

Walk alongside the poor, the vulnerable, the excluded and those whom society considers worthless , in a mission of reconciliation and justice


3. CARING FOR OUR COMMON HOME

Work, with Gospel depth, for the protection and renewal of God’s Creation


4. JOURNEYING WITH YOUTH

Accompany young people in the creation of a hope - filled future
