The 20th May 2021 marks the 500th anniversary of that moment when a French cannonball ripped through the legs of Ignatius of Loyola and set in train events which would change his life and have an extraordinary impact on the world.
To mark the anniversary, Fr Adrian Porter SJ offers a reflection on that event, on the way it played out in Ignatius' mind, leading to his conversion and a whole new way of relating to God. Using images and extracts from the writings of St Ignatius, this will be an opportunity to observe close-up the way in which God deals "immediately" (as Ignatius phrases it) with a soul and the soul "with its creator and Lord".
This residential weekend retreat offers participants the opportunity to explore the human condition through your own life story, in the context of the Gospel and the Christian spiritual life, using mindfulness skills and contemplative Christian prayer.
Professor Tania Tetlow, President of Fordham University, will give a lecture at Campion Hall exploring how Catholic universities have shaped modern education and continue to balance faith, freedom, and public responsibility in uncertain times.
Join Dr Aidan Cottrell-Boyce and Fr Christophere Ngolele SJ for the second Laudato Si’ lecture. Fr Christophere, a Jesuit priest and SOAS researcher, explores how the displacement of Congo’s autochthonous peoples reflects the “technocratic paradigm” and loss of “integral ecology” described in Laudato Si’.
