" In light of Ignatius' 'Two Standards' and 'The Mystries Done From The Garden To The House Of Annas', at any moment we can be Judas or Peter, a Christian life can be a fine line."

The Jesuit Of Cipinang Penitentiary
Jesuit Father Mikael Irwan, involved in the Church's prison ministry, said priests serving the East Jakarta area visit the prison on the second and fourth Tuesday of every month to celebrate Mass and hear confessions. The Cipinang penitentiary, built by the Dutch colonial government, now has 3,334 prisoners, of whom 401 are Christians including 40 Catholics.
I am not a Jesuit, nor am I a cleric. I spent about 5 years under the spiritual direction of a Jesuit, 3 of those years in a weekly directed retreat in everyday life. The profound impact that the Society and the Excercises had upon my life, resulted in me, trying to deal with that impact in some way by sharing my view of Jesus Christ with others. My intention is to pull together Jesuitical and Catholic subjects that interest me. I was born on the feast day of St. Paul Miki, S.J.. I am the father of three small children and an infant, I am married to a great wife.
