I leave for XLRI Jamshedpur tomorrow to give a retreat to 78 Jesuits. Of these 52 are Priests and 26 Scholastics. retreats to Jesuits are always a challenge and this will be an even greater challenge since there will be quite different age groups. However, as Ignatius says in the Spiritual Exercises - It is the Spirit that is the true Director - so I am unafraid and go into it confidently. Even so, I will need your prayers for the Jesuits and for myself. Thanks in advance.
