Official GC 35 Jesuit Prayer

Official Prayer for the

Success of the GC 35



The Society of Jesus is preparing for GC 35 whose objective is to deal with long lasting and important matters which affect the whole body of the Society (cf. Const. 680), especially the election of a new Superior General. Thus we wish to pray to our Lord Jesus Christ:

GC 35 Prayer



Lord Jesus Christ, you desire that the Society that bears your name may gather together in your Spirit and may fulfill your will in all its decisions (cf. Acts 15, 28). Through the intercession of the Virgin Mary Mother of God, St. Ignatius and all the Saints and Blessed of the Society of Jesus, we bring you our prayers:

■ That the upcoming General Congregation may be a time of listening to your Spirit,
we pray:

Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.

■ That we Jesuits may be renewed in our fidelity to the Holy Father, your Vicar on
earth, we pray:

Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.

■ That you renew in us the strength to make you known among those who have not yet heard of you, we pray:

Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.

■ That we may be guided by a true love for the poor and the little ones and the desire to work for justice and peace among peoples, we pray:

Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.

■ That we might have the heart of the good Shepherd who seeks and finds the lost, we pray:

Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.

■ That we may be guided by your wisdom to promote dialogue between our faith and
the cultures of today and between peoples of different religions, we pray:

Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.

■ That we may give witness in words and in action to the Gospel of the Lord and learn how to help the persons around us in their search for God, we pray:

Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.

■ That you will bless all our friends and benefactors, we pray:

Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.


Let us pray:

Lord, in your providence you guided Saint Ignatius to found the Society of Jesus. Enrich it, we pray, with gifts of heart, mind and spirit. Make us all one with you in holiness and love, that we may discern your will and carry it out with constancy and faith. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Amen.

Praised be Jesus Christ - forever. Amen.

Jesuits - Repay The Lord!

Hey Jesuits, lets repay the Lord by keeping your vows of obedience.

Responsorial Psalm
116:12-13, 14-17, 18-19

12 How can I repay the LORD for all the good done for me?

13 I will raise the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.

14 I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.

15 Too costly in the eyes of the LORD is the death of his faithful.

16 LORD, I am your servant, your servant, the child of your maidservant; you have loosed my bonds.

17 I will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.

18 I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people,

19 In the courts of the house of the LORD, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!

The General Congregation Of The Society Of Jesus

This is huge! Calling all prayer warriors. It's time to kick it in high gear. The Jesuits need our help.

What is it?

The election of the "Black Pope."

The Society gets a new Superior General with the retirement of Peter-Hans Kolvenbach. Can we say reform is needed? An overhaul?

Why? How about comments like this.

"Yes, we are in the vanguard of the Church," says Jose de Vera, head spokesman for the order. "It is not our job to just repeat the catechism, but to do research. Sometimes looking for real truth, you can step over the line."
Doesn't that say it all!

God has granted the Jesuits some of the greatest Saints of all time. Do you know what the Saints had in common? They never guessed where the Real Truth came from. The One, Holy, Apostolic, Catholic Church. Jesus is the Truth. And the Catholic Church, as the bride of Christ, is the pillar and foundation of the Truth Himself.

We know there are some heroic Jesuits. True defenders of the Pope. Ones who want to teach the catechism and don't think there is something better or lacking in what is revealed through the Church. That's who we want. One with courage.

Now It's Our Turn!

For centuries the Jesuits sacrificed everything by taking up the cross for us. The tide has turned. The Jesuits need our help. We, like the Jesuit founding fathers, must take action. The timing is crucial.

My brothers and sisters in Christ, lets answer the call.
  • Grab your beads.
  • Get on your knees.
  • Pray and fast.
That is the answer.


May God grant the Jesuits a Superior General with the same ardent desires as St. Ignatius himself.

Teach us, good Lord,
to serve you as you deserve;
to give and not count the costs;
to fight and not to heed the wounds;
to toil and not to seek for rest;
to labor and not to ask for any reward,
except to know that we do your will;
through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
- St. Ignatius Loyola

Stay informed. Good Jesuit, Bad Jesuit will have all of your General Congregation little known secrets and insights revealing the truth behind the scenes.
