   3. Characteristic of Jesuit Education (CJE):  Jesuit education proposes Jesus Christ as the model of human life. Members of various faiths and cultures are part of the educational community in Jesuit schools today; to all, whatever their beliefs, Christ is proposed as the model of human life. Everyone can draw inspiration and learn about commitment from the life and teaching of Jesus, who witnesses to the love and forgiveness of God, lives in solidarity with all who suffer, and pours out his life in the service of others. Everyone can imitate Him in an emptying of self, in accepting whatever difficulties or sufferings come in the pursuit of the one goal to be achieved: responding to the Father’s will in the service of others.

   5. Teach us to Pray:  Desires in Prayer

   Fr. James Martin, SJ

   Desire is an essential part of a healthy spiritual life.  For in our deepest desires God’s desires for us are revealed.  A married couple, for instance, is drawn together out of multiple desires – physical, emotional, spiritual – in order to live a life of mutual love.  Desire plays a critical part in discerning any vocation:  a particular job or profession, or to the priesthood or religious life.

   So pay attention to the holy desires that arise in prayer.  You may experience a longing to follow Jesus more closely.  To emulate one of the saints.  Or simply to become a more loving person.  This is one reason why St. Ignatius Loyola asks us to “pray for what you want and desire” when approaching God:  your holy desires reveal God’s desires for you.  And over time, you’ll gradually learn how to discern between selfish wants (I want a new smartphone) and holy desires (I want to become a better Christian).

   It’s also important to pray for the simpler things you desire, as long as they are not immoral.  Sometimes Catholics feel guilty about praying for healing from an illness, for example.  But asking humbly for what you desire is part of being honest with God.

   Ultimately, your deepest desire is for God.  The insatiable longing for union with the divine comes from the core of your being.  And that longing is planted within you by God.  For God’s deep desire is union with you.

   James Martin is a Jesuit priest and author of “Between Heaven and Mirth”, “The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything”, and “My Life with the Saints”.
