Soul Search S.Y. 2004-2005
Did you notice something strange about today's Gospel? In the very last paragraph, the Lord Jesus says, “Keep awake, therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.” And to illustrate the point that we must all be vigilant, he proceeds to make a comparison: He compares us to the master of a house who, knowing what hour of the night a thief would come, would stay awake and be ready for the burglary, obviously to stop it. By Fr. Johnny Go, SJ Christ, Our Homeless King  During the semestral break I accepted the invitation of Jesuits to visit our school for the disabled. From the first moment I stepped out of the airport in Phnom Penh , I noticed that every major road and every other street corner displayed the picture of one man. By Fr. Johnny Go, SJ Many are called, but few are chosen... During this Mass for the First Xavier China Experience, I am experiencing two kinds of emotions, and both of them start with the letter “E.” it. The first emotion that I feel is “envy.” I envy you, our XCE participants! I think I speak for all your parents when I say that all of us envy you. By Fr. Ari Dy, SJ A Gracious Host Does God Have Favorites? Intelligence is not a Privilege The Stone-Cutter Turning Buddhist |

When I first took a look at the readings for this evening's liturgy, I smiled to myself, thinking of Rudy Ang and the many people who have approached him out of concern for the moral quality of Xavier homecomings. 
It is difficult to think that one year has passed since Fr. Cortina's death assaulted us like a thief in the night. The suddenness of his death in faraway Spain makes us want to think that he is still there on vacation, and that he will be back soon. But that is wishful thinking and we all know it. 
Today we are gathered here to celebrate the life of St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, a group of men that is more than four hundred years old, a community to which Fr. Go, myself, and all the Jesuits here, belong.
