Without even a siesta, we continue to reflect on our global network. Beyond our numbers and contexts, what is our mission that we share? In some ways it is simple: At the service of faith for the purpose of justice in collaboration with all. Fr. Da Silva reminds us of the importance of an insistence of collaboration to animate our work.
Fr. Blaszczak asks us: How is it that you have found your way to this mission? To this way of proceeding? Are you ready for the work to reassess and reexamine what we do and how we do it?
Fr. Alvarez gave us some history of Fe y Alegria. It began from the calling to teach the poor. What are the calls today? How are we responding to the call of recent Congregations? To the least advantaged? To the needs of the environment?
Fr. Garanzini gave us a peek into the way that Jesuit Higher Education is grappling with similar issues as those of us in the work of Jesuit Secondary Education.
We have a tool for inviting faculty into the work of faith: The Exercises. Eager social justice collaborators are easier to come by. The deepest roots of faith and hope spring from these exercises.
