A Long 24 Hours

Saturday night we broke into our smaller experiment groups for a bit of reflection and look ahead at our next experience. It quickly became clear that everyone had one common experience of the previous 24 hours: those few hours felt more like several days or weeks than they did one day. Arriving here in Loyola has been the result of great anticipation. Particularly for me, as a Jesuit, St. Ignatius has been a fundamental part of my life and my vocation. Thus, arriving at Loyola and being with a few thousand animated, joyful people empassioned with love for Christ has been a very intense experience of great hope for the Church and Society of Jesus. That all culminated today with large Mass presided by Father General Adolfo Nicolas!
