World Meeting of Jesuits to Elect New Leader

General Congregation (GC) 35 is underway

The Society of Jesus is convening as a General Congregation in Rome to elect a new Superior General and to discuss and discern critical directions for the Jesuits in several areas. Fr. Peter-Hans Kolvenbach, S.J., the current Superior General has asked for prayers during the time of deliberations.

The following prayer is the official prayer of the Congregation:

Lord in your providence you guided St. Ignatius to found the Society of Jesus. Enrich it, we pray, with gifts of heart, mind and spiritu. Make us all one with you in holiness and love, that we may discern your will and carry it out with constancy and faith. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

As a way of supporting the Jesuits during this time, JCU will maintain a lighted candle in the Lady Chapel of St. Francis for the duration of GC 35.
