Itchy Jesuit Scholastics And The Apostleship Of Prayer

A spiritual organization called the Apostleship of Prayer. As members of the Apostleship of Prayer, these individuals begin their day with the recitation of the Morning Offering.

According to historians, it all began in the mid 1800's at a Jesuit seminary in Vals, France. There, a group of Jesuit seminarians (called Scholastics, from the Greek word for 'learner') were getting itchy to get out of the seminary and begin the spiritual apostleship for which they were receiving training.

The Scholastics came to the conclusion that if their studies and other daily activities indeed had spiritual value, each Scholastic could consecrate all of each day to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary as a daily offering.
