This short pre-recorded symposium, created and facilitated by Sr. Susan Arcaro, r.c. is offered to any person who wishes to spend 15 minutes quieting their heart at whatever time of day works best with their busy schedule and the demands of life.
Wonderworker of charity. Man of unquestionable patience. Zealous disciple.
Jesuit spirituality is integral to the charism of the Cenacle Sisters and their mission of cooperating with the Holy Spirit to awaken and deepen faith for the people or our time. The Jesuit Saint John Francis Regis, SJ ministered — at a time of plague — in and to the people of Lalouvesc, France. Here, 150 years later Cenacle foundress Saint Therese Couderc would also minister, serve, and draw inspiration from this holy man and the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises. In a succinct though warm recounting, Sr. Susan Arcaro outlines the life of Regis using the stained glass in the basilica of Lalouvesc where his remains are interred. His story includes that of family strife and divisions, a near death experience, and a steadfast commitment to the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the face of violence and hardship.
We happily created this program during this 500th Year Celebration of the Conversion of Ignatius of Loyola and for those persons who are unable to meet during our usual retreat offerings.
