Hi there! We are the Jesuits

Sinners yet Called to Serve the Church

Witness Our Works

Companions of Jesus

Jesuits are: called to serve a world in need, sharing Christ’s mission of justice and reconciliation
We are religious priests and brothers: sent to all corners of the world to share the Good News of our faith, to promote justice, and to foster greater dialogue between different religions and cultures
We seek the greater glory of God: and the development of a more humane and sustainable world.

“…CHRIST OUR LORD CHOOSES SO MANY PERSONS AND FRIENDS… AND SENDS THEM THROUGH ALL THE WORLD…”: SE 145; .; Blessing for the New Priests at Kotabaru Parish, July 2022

Finding God in All Things

The life of the Jesuits: is based on the spiritual experience of St. Ignatius of Loyola who learned to “find God in all things”
In every works: we always dedicate it to the glory of God
Inspired by St. Ignatius: we too strive to discover God working in all the realities of our world… as Contemplatives in Action

in prayer, in people, in world events, in nature, in our daily actions, in our own hearts, there is always GOD: Pater Wawan is helping Botong parishioners for planting rice

Contemplatives in Action

The method of Ignatius: is written in his Spiritual Exercises
It’s a small book: that can help anyone to be free from unhealthy attachments
so they can follow the still, small voice of God: that speaks in the deepest desires of their hearts

Listen closely. God may be trying to speak to you.: Pater Harry Setianto after Easter Mass in the remote area of Papua

Available to Go Anywhere and Do Anything

Being a Jesuit: opens our lives to risk and adventure
St. Ignatius sought companions: who would generously offer themselves to be sent to any part of the world where greater service to God and help for people is expected [cf. Const 603]
where others do not want to go or cannot go: where we can do greater good for individuals and communities

We still seek to go where there is most need and it is most urgent: Pater Benny when visiting Pakistan to see the possibility of carrying out a mission with them

the Future

“…LOVE OUGHT TO SHOW ITSELF IN DEEDS MORE THAN IN WORDS.“: [SE 230]

Friends in the Lord

Jesuits are centered: in their personal love for Christ and their identity as friends in the Lord
We are not civil servants: or professionals
We are ordinary men: from every culture and country united by Christ to continue his work, and to share our lives as Jesus did

We are ordinary men in deeply human and concrete friendships: Jesuits and friends get together for a fun run to celebrate Cardinal Julius' 88th birthday

Global Companions

Our international formation: brings us together as we share community life and mission across cultures
Anywhere in the world where we find a Jesuit community: we feel among friends

For Jesuits, “the world is our home.”: Jesuit Scholastics join the Laudato Si Run

Learned and Poor

Ignatius and the first companions: were known as men who were “learned and poor”
To do good for others: we know that we need both intellectual and spiritual depth
This combination makes us men: who are not detached in ivory towers, but rooted in the reality of the world and the hope of the Gospel

Pope Francis’ ‘option for the poor’ means living and thinking with the people: The Novices learn to plant tree

Unique Calling

This unique calling has enabled Jesuits: to be renowned as educators, helping people to find an intelligent faith and serving as an intellectual voice for the Church

This comes not only from our excellent education, but also from living close to the poor and suffering: The situation in Botong Parish Kalimantan when a Prest want to serve in some chapels

A God Who Unites Contradictions

Faith and world, action and prayer, interiority and apostolate, individual and community, poverty and apostolic: means, studies and closeness to the marginalized, universality and local inculturation, Church and existential frontiers
We Jesuits receive from Ignatius and the first companions: an experience of a God who is revealed in the tensions and contradictions of life

Seminarians of Peter Canisius, Mertoyudan

A down-to-earth mysticism

Ignatius is the saint of a down-to-earth mysticism;: he lives in the world as in a burning bush inhabited by the love of God, who assumes the tensions of life, harmonizing them, uniting what is apparently contradictory.
Ignatius has left us the most human of God’s experiences: How divine our human experience would be if we followed his path thoroughly!

Kerja Keras Kami

Lewat pengalaman Venezia, St. Ignatius bersama para sahabatnya sebagai kelompok yang ditandai oleh kerohanian mendalam, kebiasaan berdiskresi, sifat terpelajar, serta melayani orang mempersembahkan diri kepada Paus untuk siap diutus. Selanjutnya dikenal salah satu unsur dinamis kehidupan Serikat dan anggota-anggotanya, yaitu bersatu meski tersebar dalam aneka perutusan dan dalam ketersebaran itu terus memelihara dan mengembangkan kesatuan melalui relasi pribadi dengan Tuhan, ketaatan kepada Superior, komitmen terhadap perutusan, serta kebiasaan saling berkomunikasi.
