CWN Editor's Note: On March 12, Pope Francis went to the Church of the Gesù, the mother church of the Society of Jesus, to preach the homily at a Mass marking the 400th anniversary of the canonization of the Society’s founder, St. Ignatius of Loyola.
“Dear brothers and sisters, may our holy father Ignatius help us to preserve discernment, our precious legacy, as an ever timely treasure to be poured out on the Church and on the world,” Pope Francis concluded. “Indeed, discernment is essential, so that, as St. Peter Faber wrote, ‘the good that can be achieved, thought, or organized, may be done with a good, not a malign, spirit.’”
