This is the message of the Jesuit community of the Collegio Internazionale del Gesù, in Rome, at this very special time of confinement which is aimed at fighting the coronavirus. This short video produced by the students is introduced by the Rector, Fr. Luis Orlando Torres, and shows in images and music that life continues, in all its dimensions, for this community of some fifty Jesuits from every continent.
Take a four-minute break to watch this video and join in prayer with the young Jesuits living in Rome. Bilingual version, Italian and English.
