Tomorrow, January 7th, the 35th General Congregation of the Society of Jesus opens with a Mass at our Mother Church in Rome, the Gesu. The ceremony will include lighting a vigil candle at the altar of St. Ignatius, pictured to the right, to be kept burning the duration of the congregation; Jesuit communities around the world will be similar candles burning in their chapels symbolizing our 'union of hearts and minds' to use St. Ignatius's words. The prayer to be offered at the tomb is quite fitting I think. ( GC 35 )
