CALLED TO THE FRONTIERS

CALLED TO THE FRONTIERS
January 25, 2013
Conversion of Paul the Apostle
Dear Friends of the Vocation Office,
Fr. General Nicolás has used this phrase "Called to the Frontiers" quite a bit since he was elected the Superior General of the Society of Jesus at the 2008 Jesuit governance meeting GC35. His phrase ignites plenty of conversation around the globe in Jesuit works, Jesuit and Lay Colleague conversations, not to mention in Jesuit dining rooms. However, this phrase also captures the attention of those outside the Jesuit world amongst folks looking to join us and folks both inside and outside the Church looking to watch what we do. The word frontier has a rich ability to identify those areas in our world, our culture and our church that exemplify new realities or new possibilities to respond to Christ. Or, as Pope Benedict also proclaimed at that same GC35: "...to reach the geographical and spiritual places where others do not reach or find it difficult to reach."

Inner flowering

Inner flowering
Dear Friends,
Thanks for visiting અંતરાગ્ની blog.
There are a number of pages below the banner of the blog on top.
Please have look at them also.
If you have any comment please add to the post or email me.

There are other ways of looking at spirituality than "inner fire". It can be new flowering or sprouting of ones being.
