Video series from Fr General – Episode 7
Walking with Ignatius: Episode 7
Arturo Sosa SJWatch the video above to join Fr General as he reflects on the Society, the Church and World.
In the seventh chapter of his book, Father Sosa tells us about the choice made by the Society of Jesus today to "walk with the poor and the excluded". This is the 2nd Universal Apostolic Preference that was given by the Holy Father to the Society after the Society’s discernment during the last General Congregation. In order to follow Jesus, we must remember that Jesus himself became a friend of the little ones and the poor. We can learn from those who are marginalised, learn solidarity and then commit ourselves for more justice.
Fr General will publish a video each month during the Ignatian Year as a companion to his book Walking with Ignatius. You are invited to walk the journey of the Ignatian year with him.
