The gift of Ignatian community in a world experiencing crisis.
The following is a video of an opening prayer offered by the Jesuits of Canada to begin our retreat on the occasion of the Ignatian Year, which is proposed to the entire Ignatian family in Canada.
If you have gathered as a group for this retreat, we recommend that you view the video together.
“We hope that this retreat and this pan-Canadian and bilingual meeting of the Ignatian family in the midst of an Ignatian Jubilee year and on the eve of the Feast of the Canadian Martyrs will strengthen the bonds that unite us as we participate in the mission of Christ who calls us to be his friends and witnesses in our world.”
