Fr. James Hanvey, SJ, the Secretary for the Service of Religion of the Society of Jesus, introduces Pope Leo XIV’s first apostolic exhortation, Dilexi Te, as a contemplative doc. He says:
Dilexi Te speaks on to the Society of Jesus, not solely as a result of it has very publicly over a few years made the choice for the poor one among its major issues and first works in all its apostolates, however as a result of lately the Society has taken up what they name the 4 Common Apostolic Preferences. They’re all guided by the primary apostolic choice, which is the Non secular Workouts of St. Ignatius, which once more opens us to the genuineness, the depth of the humanity of Christ but additionally Christ’s work and in addition Christ’s personal poverty, particularly on the Cross, but additionally the way in which through which Christ sends us into this world as consolers, as a part of the mission of the Risen Christ. So from that major apostolic choice comes the opposite three, and one among them is to stroll with the poor.
