FROM: Father Principal
1. IGNATIUS, THE FIRST JESUIT SCHOOLS, AND THE RATIO STUDIORUM
The Society of Jesus Enters Education
Even though all of
these first companions of Ignatius were graduates of the University of Paris,
the original purposes of the Society of Jesus did not include educational
institutions. As described in the “Formula” presented to Paul III for his
approval, the Society of Jesus was founded “to strive especially for the
defense and propagation of the faith and for the progress of souls in Christian
life and doctrine, by means of public preaching, lectures, and any other
ministration whatsoever of the word of God, and further by means of the
Spiritual Exercises, the education of children and unlettered persons in
Christianity, and the spiritual consolation of Christ’s faithful through
hearing confessions and administering the other sacraments.” Ignatius wanted Jesuits
to be free to move from place to place wherever the need was greatest; he was
convinced that institutions would tie them down and prevent this mobility. But
the companions had only one goal: “in all things to love and serve the Divine
Majesty;” they would adopt whatever means could best accomplish this love and
service of God through the service of others.

Points to Ponder
It’s either because it’s the summer and he is
in a good mood, or because he is tired of hearing people turn complaining into
a sport.
In any case, this
photo that “Vatican Insider” published has caused a stir: on the door of
his room, Pope Francis placed this
message: “No whining.” In
the small print, it reads,
“Offenders
are subjected to a syndrome of victimism that lowers the mood and the ability
to solve problems.”
It
says that “sanction is doubled if the offense is committed in the presence of
children,” and concludes with a hopeful message: “To
become the best version of yourself, you must focus on your own potential and
not on your own limits, so stop complaining and act to change your life for the
better.”
Pope Francis was
given the poster a month ago after the General Audience by the psychologist
Salvo Noè. It’s a message that summarizes Pope Francis’ thoughts,and highlights
the way he has run his pontificate.
