As human mobility has intensified in recent years, more and more communities are engaged in conversations on the issue of immigration both on the local and national levels. Given the complexity of this reality, it can be challenging to navigate one’s personal response to it.
In this talk, Fr. Andrew Laguna will explore how the tradition of St. Ignatius of Loyola can aid us in forming a response to our neighbors who have experienced migration. Specifically, he will consider the themes of freedom, call, and discernment as they are developed within the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. His hope is that this Ignatian framework will offer helpful tools for a discerned response to those who migrate for anyone who desires to safeguard their dignity.
We invite you to join us for this insightful discussion as we reflect on how the Ignatian tradition can guide our response to migration with wisdom, compassion, and justice!
