Sir Anthony Hopkins On: A Jesuit With The Shortest Prayer
“There was a Jesuit priest I knew once and somebody asked him, ‘What’s the shortest prayer in the world?’ And he said, ‘F*** it’. That’s great, isn’t it?”
One night sitting in detox at my job at Catholic Charities, an ex-con leaned over and asked me "You know what the shortened version of the serenity prayer is ?" "No" "F**k it"
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.
