The Ignatian Corner!
IGNATIAN APOSTOLIC COMMUNITIES – 2
In the previous article, I asked: “What about a Jesuit parish? What are the characteristics of an Ignatian
parish?” The easiest way to respond to these questions is to state a Basic Jesuit Document on Parish Ministry
in the United States. This document is reprinted with permission of the Rector of Santa Clara; it will cover two
pages.
Fr. Dominic
A Mission Statement for Jesuits in Parish Ministry
(promulgated by Jesuits in Parish Ministry at Santa Clara University, California, July 23, 1987)
"Parish Life stretches to the limit all the brains, the talents, the spirituality and the resourcefulness that the best
Jesuit has. And it goes on 7 days a week, 52 weeks of the year." -- A Jesuit in Parish Ministry
What is parish life today in the United States? " Leader s ar e beginning to r ealize what we pr actitioner s
have always known: that the average Catholic gets his or her first and lasting impression of 'church' from the
parish; that it is there that the first incorporation into the Body of Christ takes place; it is there that the daily
dramas of life, union, death, and resurrection are celebrated; and it is there that struggles, failures, and
reconciliations occur. In short, the parish is finally being seen as the vital and critical hand that first rocks the
ecclesiastical cradle, and so its importance can hardly be overestimated."
Why does the Society of Jesus choose parish ministry as one of its apostolic works today? Because the
parish is where people of all stages of faith are gathered and empowered day in and day out for mission in the
world. Insofar as our Society is mobile, specialized and diversified in a variety of apostolates, it also needs to
be engaged in parishes where grass roots faith is expressed, nurtured and formed daily. By being present here
we have much to give; we have much to receive and learn.
What does the Society of Jesus have to offer? We have much to give par ish life gr aced as we ar e by our
Ignatian spirituality which offers practical ways to foster personal love and companionship with Christ. Our
spirituality touches not only individual hearts, but also the heart of a parish as a whole. Daily, it supports lives
of service to the Church, as well as empowers lives of mission to establish the Kingdom of God now in the
surrounding communities of the parish. Our spirituality gives people a way of proceeding in apostolic
discernment that actually roots communal and personal decisions in a mutually professed desire to follow the
Person of Christ, His mind, heart and way, in our own time. In the parish, the Society brings the energy of its
most prized resource, the Spiritual Exercises, to the Body of Christ for daily use.
How is the Society of Jesus and all of its ministries affected by this choice? Basically, the Society is
enriched and its ministries are complemented. Parish communities and related diocesan contacts offer the
Society catalytic opportunities for further development, expression and sharing of its charisms. This happens
most of all in the lives of the Jesuits in parish ministry as they are affected, nurtured and informed through the
mutual sharing of their talents, gifts and faith lives with the people of the local Church. Such growth affects
the body of the Society of Jesus at large. Without parishes, the Society of Jesus is like a body without one of
its eyes and ears and part of its soul.
Therefore, as a community of priests, brothers and scholastics, we fully embrace working in parish ministry in
the United States. We are committed to the formation of parish communities fulfilling the mission of Christ in
the World, especially in places where the need is greater.

WEARING OF THE RED!
Peace and Justice Committee
St. Therese Peace and Justice Committee would like
to honor parish members who come from different
ethnic groups around the world. On Pentecost
Sunday, May 24th, at the 10:30 Mass, we need
members from these different groups to read the
Intentions at the appropriate time in their ethnic
languages. We really would like as many ethnic
groups as possible to be represented.
If interested, please contact Anne Cerutti at 704-6647455 or 704-402-6229. We need to know as soon
possible so that we have time to plan the intentions,
allow you to translate them into your native
language, give the order for which these intentions
will be read.
There have been some parishioners that believe we should add more color to our new Church. Well, this is our
chance to do that. We, the pilgrim people of God at St. Therese, can wear RED clothing for Pentecost Sunday,
May 24th. RED symbolizes fire of the Holy Spirit to bring light to the world and the ultimate Victory of Jesus'
Gospel. Also, language is one of the most colorful gifts that God gave us. If your first or family language is
Not English, then at the Our Father proclaim the prayer that Jesus gave us in that language.

Mary, Mother of all
Mary is an
important
reminder to us
of our VIP
status with God.
Each of us is
created in
God’s image.
Each of us is
unique and
special. As our
spiritual
mother, Mary
reminds us that
we are never alone. She is our advocate,
always ready to "plead our case" before God.
She is a powerful ally for all of us. It is
important to remember that Mary was
human, just like us. She knew what it was
like to be tired, hungry, worried, and
frightened. She knew what it was like to be
helpless as she was when her child suffered
and died on the cross. Most importantly, she
shows us that unconditional love is humanly
possible. Just as she was with Jesus at
Calvary, so she will always care about us and
be there to help us.

“La Esquina Ignaciana”
Hay tres eventos grandes que la Iglesia celebra cada año durante el
tiempo pascual. Por supuesto la primera de esos es el más importante.
La Resurrección del Señor de entre los muertos es la celebración de
nuestra fe sin comparación. Pentecostés, la fiesta del próximo
domingo, recuerda la iniciación de la comunidad de aquella misma fe
que somos nosotros. Hoy, la de la Ascensión del Señor - la vuelta del
Crucificado, que ahora vive, para que esté físicamente presente al lado
de su Padre para siempre - es el tercer misterio celebrado en este
tiempo solemne. La fiesta nos presenta con un gran desafío, el de
entender el sentido verdadero y la importancia singular de este regreso
de Jesús “a la casa de su Padre.”
Llena, Señor, nuestro corazón de gratitud y de alegría
por la gloriosa ascensión de tu Hijo,
ya que su triunfo es también nuestra victoria,
pues a donde llegó él, nuestra cabeza,
tenemos la esperanza cierta de llegar nosotros
que somos su cuerpo.
En esta oración inicial de la misa de hoy, la Iglesia nos enseña la razón que, por ser un
cristiano o una cristiana, somos esencialmente hombres y mujeres de esperanza. Nuestro
maestro, nuestro hermano, nuestro modelo, ha triunfado definitivamente sobre todo que
puede destruir la esperanza en nuestras vidas; la muerte, el pecado, el fracaso. Y, porque
somos unidos con él en un solo cuerpo y en un solo espíritu, su llegada a su destino definitivo
anuncia nuestra victoria definitiva. Esta esperanza, encarnada en el momento de su reunión
de Jesús con su Padre, es nuestra realidad para siempre. Fue su promesa predicada y vivida
durante toda su vida entre nosotros. Y, Dios es fiel.
Galileos, ¿qué hacen allí mirando al cielo?
En el texto de Hechos de Apóstoles, Lucas confirma que esa esperanza, que es la nuestra, no
es una esperanza solamente del futuro, una esperanza del otro mundo. Necesitamos marchar
de la montaña de donde Jesús regresó a su Padre y hacer carne ese don entre los hombres y
mujeres, los niños y niñas, que forman el mundo que nos rodea. No tenemos el lujo de mirar
al cielo para esperar a nuestra Esperanza. Ella está mucho más cerca - donde dormimos y
comemos, donde trabajamos y nos relajamos. El partir del Señor al cielo lo lleva más cerca
de nosotros que nunca. Celebramos hoy la realidad que Jesús está aquí.
San Ignacio de Loyola enseñó que estamos llamados a ser contemplativos en acción. Hoy
contemplemos este misterio tan lindo y conmovedor. Hoy seamos agentes de esperanza en
nuestras comunidades y en nuestras familias. Con esta contemplación activa, construyamos
juntos un mundo de paz, justicia y amor. Es el sueño de Jesús quien hoy entra de nuevo en el
cielo. Que siga siendo nuestro sueño cada día de nuestras vidas.
P. Donald Ward, SJ
