Happy Feast Day, St. Ignatius!

Although the 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time supersedes the Memorial of St. Ignatius of Loyola liturgically this year, perhaps we could take a moment to remember St. Ignatius on July 31, his Feast Day.  A good way to do this might be to spend a few minutes learning more about the works of the community founded by Ignatius, the Society of Jesus.  This link contains reflections on "Ignatian Ministry," as well as detailed information about the various social justice ministries in which the Jesuits are involved throughout the Provinces of the United States.  None of the reflections will take very long to read; all will provide food for thought and prayer.  By spending just a few minutes of our time reflecting on the role of Jesuits today, we could come a bit closer to that Jesuit ideal of being "men and women for others."
