Jesuit Saints and Blesseds

"In remorse, gratitude, and astonishment--but above all with passionate love--first Ignatius, and then every Jesuit after him, has turned prayerfully to 'Christ hanging on the Cross before me,' and has asked of himself, 'What have I done for Christ? What am I doing for Christ? What must I do for Christ?'
This is the foundational grace that binds Jesuits to Jesus and to one another. Today we bring this counter-cultural gift of Christ to a world beguiled by self-centered human fulfilment, extravagance, and soft living, a world that prizes prestige, power, and self-sufficiency. In such a world, to preach Christ poor and humble, with fidelity and courage, is to expect humiliation, persecution, and even death. We have seen this happen to our brothers in recent years. Yet we move forward resolutely out of our 'desire to resemble and imitate in some manner our Creator and Lord Jesus Christ--since he is the way which leads men to life.'"
