Curious about the Jesuits? Wondering whether God might be inviting you to something deeper in your life? A “Come and See” day offers an opportunity to step inside Jesuit life, and spend time with men in formation and those living the Jesuit vocation today. jesuit.org.uk/events/come-se…

From today until next Sunday, Laudato Si’ Week is taking place, dedicated to the care of creation and inspired by Pope Francis’ Encyclical. In this jubilee year of Saint Francis of Assisi, we recall his message of peace with God, with our brothers and sisters, and with all creatures. Sadly, in recent years, due to wars, progress in this direction has been greatly impeded. Therefore, I encourage the members of the Laudato Si’ Movement and all who promote an integral ecology to renew their commitment. Indeed, caring for peace is caring for life!

Librarians from Jesuit libraries across Britain come together to reveal the hidden histories behind their collections in an online talk exploring their heritage and continuing relevance. jesuit.org.uk/news/librarian…

Today, on the liturgical feast of #OurLadyOfFatima, we turn our gaze to the Shrine, where the Virgin Mary entrusted the three shepherd children with a message of #Peace.

There's a tension between academic theology’s silence on Marian apparitions such as #Fatima and the way in which the actions of Pope Francis & his 2 immediate predecessors were shaped by a close attention to private revelation: ow.ly/gq3850zE08m #OurLadyofFatima #feast

Paul's masterful speech at the Areopagus, which we hear today, has been called the climax to Acts of the Apostles and is recognised by the Church as a model of mission. thinkingfaith.org/articles/dark-…
