钟楼映在水池里

彼得·伊利,S.J., 前宣教部副主席, has composed a list of terms frequently used by Jesuits that may be helpful to know. Below are also some reading recommendations for people who would like to know more about Jesuit spirituality and history.

耶稣会的条款

Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam(拉丁语),意思是“为了上帝更大的荣耀”.这是耶稣会的座右铭.

A phrase that embodies the creative tension between Jesuits’ full embrace of concrete action and their attentiveness to where God may call them next. Lay organizations, such as the Jesuit Volunteer Corps, have also adopted this spiritual stance. 积极的生活, 帕克·帕尔默写道, “思考和行动从根本上是结合在一起的, 而它们的根源是我们对充分生活的不断渴望.”

(拉丁语),意思是照顾整个人. 耶稣会的基本价值包括三个概念, 据布赖恩·麦克德莫特说, S.J.: Treating people as individuals and honoring their unique worth; caring for the “whole” person (including physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual health); and taking into account people’s backgrounds, 包括他们的家庭生活, nationality, and culture.

A process of discovering God’s direction and guidance in the concrete reality of our day-to-day lives. . . Discernment is a prayerful “pondering” or “mulling over” of the options facing you. Your goal is to understand them in your heart: to see them, as it were, as God might see them. In one sense, there is no limit to how long you might wish to continue this. 然而,当你继续这个过程, some options should of their own account fall by the wayside while others should gain clarity and focus. 这是一个应该无情地走向决定的过程. (查尔斯·J. Jackson, S.J.)

Refers to the defining characteristics and ethos of the Jesuits (or Society of Jesus), 是由罗耀拉的依纳爵创立的吗.

希腊文中耶稣名字的前三个字母. These letters appear as a symbol on the official seal of the Society of Jesus, or Jesuits.

A regional organization for the care of Jesuits within its boundaries and for the governance of affiliated ministries and work, 一个省通常由几个相邻的州组成. The California Province is one of 10 comprising the federated body, the United States Assistancy. 相关词汇:省级父亲省级领导每个省, 监督耶稣会士的精神需要和管理事务, 在一群顾问和顾问的帮助下. 在加利福尼亚州, 耶稣会士和教友助理负责各种各样的项目, from development and communications to secondary education and international ministries.
