Descripción
Even if Jesuits are quite aware that Saint Ignatius, the founder of the Society of Jesus, wrote his Spiritual Exercises - the source of our contemplation and action - while still a lay person, we needed the Spirit working through Vatican II and the leadership of His Holiness John-Paul II to take seriously the unique responsibility of the laity in the Church today.
The history of Jesuit-Lay partnership has been a history of a tightly bound network of mutual support. Moving beyond simply inviting lay persons to join Jesuits in Jesuit sponsored works, requires a different perspective for both Jesuits and lay partners in mission. To grow in cooperation in mission together will require formation for both lay persons and
Jesuits. For our part, we Jesuits need both initial and ongoing formation to gain experience in askills for cooperating with the laity in mission.
