“It is to know that one is a sinner, yet called to be a companion of Jesus, as Ignatius was, who begged the Blessed Virgin to place him with her Son, and who then saw the Father Himself ask Jesus, carrying His cross, to take this pilgrim into his company.”
“It is to engage, under the standard of the cross, in the crucial struggle of our time the struggle for faith and that struggle for justice which it includes.”
– from the 32nd General Congregation Decree on “Jesuits Today”
