In his final reflection before ordination, Christopher Brolly SJ speaks of Ignatius watching him with two gazes: one loving, a proud father's gaze; the other a challenge, asking him to step up.
"May God who has begun this work in you give you the grace to bring it to fulfilment."
Deacon Christopher will be ordained tomorrow, 13 June, at 1pm at St Mary's RC Cathedral, Newcastle. Please keep him in your prayers as he prepares for this moment🙏

For 20 years, Pray As You Go has helped people deepen their relationship with God through prayer, Scripture and music.
To mark this anniversary, we are hosting a special live event at Holy Sepulchre Church in London, featuring The Porter's Gate. The evening will bring together music, prayer and reflection in a celebration of the Pray As You Go journey and the Ignatian tradition that inspires it.
Whether Pray As You Go has accompanied your prayer for years or you are discovering it for the first time, all are welcome.

Ahead of MAGIS 2027 in Korea, Fr Arturo Sosa SJ has outlined a vision of faith, discernment and peace for young adults from around the world.
Rooted in the Ignatian tradition, MAGIS invites participants to deepen their faith, build friendships across cultures and reflect on how they are called to serve others. The programme shares much in common with Jesuit Young Adult Ministries in Britain, which helps young people grow in faith and community.

Corpus Christi is more than just another celebration on the liturgical calendar. It is a way of returning to the heart of the faith to renew our love and fidelity to God. It is a profession of faith in the presence of the Risen Lord, who is alive and continues to walk among us, who becomes bread to satiate our hunger for life, and visits the recesses of our hearts and history, even those shrouded in darkness. #ApostolicJourney vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…
