~ with Michelle Etchart, Director of Leadership Development at Seattle University
Q.  You spend a lot of time with university students.  What does being a leader mean to them, in relation to who they might feel called to be in life?
A. Students come to us with many ideas about leadership and how it relates to them.  As a part of our mission, we try to help support them in discerning their own leadership path as an expression of their unique passion and purpose. One student might find a ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
~ by Fr. Jack Bentz, SJ
For Jesuits, the Eucharist is at the center of their prayer and their life together. Most Jesuit communities have a space dedicated to the Blessed Sacrament for private prayer and all Jesuit communities gather together for regular Eucharistic celebrations. While the quality of this celebration can vary as widely as the character of the Jesuits participating, the Eucharist is where we have the opportunity to find God every time we allow ourselves to be found at Eucharist. For when we gather with each other in ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1. Where are you currently missioned and how&#8217;s it going?
My Provincial has missioned me to philosophy studies at St Louis University. Philosophy studies—or &#8216;first studies&#8217;—is the second stage of formation in the Jesuits following two years in the Novitiate. I am a student again. The majority of my time is spent reading books and writing papers. I do a lot of pondering. And while the focus of my mission is on my intellectual and spiritual formation, I am keenly aware that my education is not self-serving. Rather, I study in ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8216;In 1595, when an upstart player named William Shakespeare was writing a fantastical comedy in English verse called &#8220;A Midsummer Night’s Dream&#8221; for the London stage, on the opposite side of the globe, in the southern Chinese city of Nanchang, an equally remarkable man named Matteo Ricci was composing an essay on friendship in the formal diction of classical Chinese. Ricci called his essay simply &#8220;You lun&#8221; (Essay on Friends), a title that would later be changed under the influence of one of Ricci’s many Chinese friends to the more ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[~ excerpt from an essay by Enrique E. Fabbri, originally published in Argentine magazine Criterio.
&#8216;A lot is written today about leadership, yet most of these works do not propose or indicate which are the qualities of a true leader. There is a lot of falseness and shallowness in this field. The fabric of many large companies lacks an effective and human guidance as well as personal and trustworthy one. They lack a more visionary leadership inspired in those men and women capable of teaching, conducting, training and assessing all kinds ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To love someone is to be in active relationship with them. St. Ignatius believed that this action consists in a mutual sharing of goods between the ones who love. Technical as it sounds, we all experience this, however imperfectly, in our many human relationships. And all this is true when it comes to our relationship with God, except that the love of God is perfect. But it is not enough to say that God is love and leave it at that. God is love, therefore God shares what God is ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[La Conferencia de Provinciales Jesuitas en América Latina has some new members.

The new Jesuit provincial of the Venezuela Province takes office tomorrow. Fr. Arturo Ernesto Peraza Celis, SJ is all of 44 years old and he&#8217;s been busy working in formation (rector of the Filosofado Ignacio Ellacuría), communications (director of the review SIC), and serving as a provincial consultor. If that weren&#8217;t enough, he&#8217;s also found time to complete a PhD in political science, this on top of his earlier studies in law. He&#8217;s been a priest for 10 years ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1. Where are you currently missioned and how&#8217;s it going?
In August, following vows, I was missioned to study philosophy at the University of Toronto (Regis College) in Canada. I am currently starting my second semester and I am having a great time. It is wonderful to be back in the classroom; though philosophy can seem a bit daunting at times, I really enjoy the studies.
2. When was the first time you thought about being a Jesuit?
I thought about being a Jesuit shortly after I decided I wanted to be a ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fe y Alegría is a Movement for Integral Popular Education and Social Development whose activities are directed to the most impoverished and excluded sectors of the population, in order to empower them in their personal development and their participation in society.
It is a movement which unites people in a process of growth, self-criticism and the search for answers to the challenges presented by human needs. It concerns education because it promotes the formation of persons who are conscious of their own potential and of the reality about them; who are ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the burgeoning world of communications more people are communicating with more people than ever before; there are a myriad of data streams to dip into. This new reality of status updates, tweets, blog entries, photostreams, skyping, texting, emails, etc. has been described in terms that Teilhard de Chardin would understand. He imagined that the next great leap in cosmic evolution is already underway with the transformation of matter into consciousness. And with all those messages bouncing all around the world 24 hours a day, it’s not difficult to imagine ...]]></description>
