Chapter 4: The Ministries by Which the Society Fulfills

Its MissionSlide8

Missionary service

“By reason of their vocation to the Society, all our members, and not only those who so petition, may be sent to evangelize peoples. But those who were born in former mission lands ought to be aware of their serious responsibility to promote the faith and life of the Church with deep roots in their own cultures. But even they should be prepared to undertake mission service among other peoples” (

Norms

, 263).Slide9

Interreligious dialogue“In the context of the divisive, exploitative, and

conflictual

roles that religions, including Christianity, have played in history,

dialogue

seeks to develop the unifying and liberating potential of all religions, thus showing the relevance of religion for human well-being, justice, and word peace” (

Norms

, 265).Slide10

“Dialogue is ‘an activity with its own guiding principles, requirements, and dignity’ [John Paul II, Encyclical Redemptoris mission, no. 56]; and it should never be made a strategy to elicit conversions, since a positive relationship with believers of other faiths is a requirement in a world of religious pluralism” [GC 34, d. 5, no. 3] (

Norms

, 265).Slide11

“The culture of dialogue should become a distinctive characteristic of our Society” (Norms, 266).Slide12

How?The dialogue of life (sharing of live)

The dialogue of action (integral development and liberation of people)

The dialogue of theological exchange (specialists)

The dialogue of religious experience (sharing the spiritual traditions)Slide13

“The Society must prepare members able to became experts in the third aspect of interreligious dialogue” (Norms, 267).

(The dialogue of theological exchange)Slide14

Ecumenical activity

“Faith which does justice is necessarily committed to ecumenical dialogue and cooperation” (

Norms

, 268).

 

“Ecumenism ... is a new way of living as a Christian” (

Norms

, 268).

 

“(...) superiors should see to it that some of our members are prepared as experts in ecumenical matters (...)” (

Norms

, 269, §2).

 

“In ecumenical activity Jesuits are faithfully to observe all the prescriptions and directives of the Holy See and of those whose duty it is to direct the ecumenical movement” (

Norms

, 269, §3).Slide15

Pastoral services and works

The pastoral works from the past are to be renewed (cf.

Norms

, 270).

We should “look for new forms of pastoral service and works that answer contemporary needs, even those of other religions” (

Norms

, 270).

“Our pastoral service ought to prepare Christian communities for carrying on dialogue with believers of other religions and help them experience God’s compassionate love in their lives” (

Norms

, 270).Slide16

Insistence on the importance of the Spiritual Exercises: “The Spiritual Exercises, carefully adapted in different ways, should be presented to every type of person insofar as individuals are capable of them, not excluding simple folk” (Norms

, 271).

“The same thing should be done, as far as possible and with appropriate adaptations, for believers of other religions”. (

Norms

, 271). Slide17

The importance of “teaching Christian doctrine to children and the uneducated” (Norms, 272).Slide18

“Our members cooperate with the program of renewal of both the Christian Life Communities and the Apostleship of prayer” (Norms, 272).Slide19

“residences should be encouraged among the more neglected groups of people” (Norms, 273).Slide20

“the care of souls in a parish is no longer considered contrary to the principles of our Constitutions” (

Norms

, 274 §1).

“Parishes accepted by the Society must be in accordance with its proper

charism

and mission” (

Norms

, 274 §2).

 

“Those who are appointed pastors must have special training” (

Norms

, 274 §3).Slide21

The importance of our “labours among Eastern churches, whether Catholic or not Catholic” (Norms, 275).Slide22

The apostolate of the Heart of Christ, “as a most pleasant responsibility entrusted to the Society by Christ our Lord” (Norms, 276 §1).Slide23

The importance of the “patronage of the Blessed Virgin Mary” (Norms, 276 §2).Slide24

Be aware of your

consolations

/ desolationsSlide25
Slide26

What are my reactions as I ponder these texts?

Do these texts challenge me or us to a different way of relating

these works?

If I am in parish work, do these norms relate to my experience? Slide27

“The end of the Society and of its studies is to aid our fellowmen to the knowledge and love of God to the salvation of their souls”

Saint Ignatius of Loyola,

Constitutions of the Society of Jesus

, [446].
