AMDG Jesuits like their father ignatius are called to love the poor and their vow of poverty like their mother. The Jesuits have always taught the rest of the Church, the Jesuits have always been been the backbone of the Church when all in it despised them. The society of jesus has given the Church the maximum number of saints because of their spirituality and understanding of their faith.The Jesuits understand most clearly the will of god by understanding that they are sinners called to follow a jewish carpenter as their boss. the society of jesus is the only first religious congregation in the church named after jesus. If ever were there a sign from god it is now. I am not a jesuit. If only more undertook the spiritual exercises, the catholic church would be a better place and the catholics better more pragmatic ad true disciples of jesus.
