The campus community is invited to an Ignatian Examen, “Finding Our Way: Immigration, Conscience and Community,” on Wednesday, Jan. 28, from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the AMU Lunda Room. This Examen — a Jesuit technique of prayerful reflection — will help us to humanize one another through conversation and find resources to guide the way we as individuals and as a community respond to this moment.
This event will help us to listen, to learn and to reflect on how our Catholic, Jesuit values can help us to find our way forward. The Examen will be followed by a communal Rosary for peace and reconciliation at 5:30 p.m. in the Chapel of the Holy Family.
St. Ignatius Loyola’s Examen is an opportunity for peaceful, daily reflective prayer, which invites us to find the movement of God in all the people and events of our day. We cannot hope to make progress toward peace if we remain at the level of mutually exclusive positions; instead let us find a way to humanize one another through conversation.
The Examen will be led by members of the Jesuit community, along with faculty and staff. No RSVP is required; refreshments will be available. All students, faculty and staff are invited to participate in this free event.
Grounded in our mission, our Marquette University community strives to be a learning environment where people of diverse backgrounds and perspectives are welcomed and valued. In light of recent events in Minneapolis and immigration enforcement activities around the country, counseling services and pastoral support are available to members of the campus community.
