The Society of Jesus instilled the vision of the Spiritual Exercises within me. These gave meaning, purpose, and direction to my life. For this, I am deeply grateful.  

The Society of Jesus drew me into a vast multi-national circle of “friends in the Lord”—one that is both prayerful and thoughtful. For this, I am deeply grateful.  

The Society of Jesus provided a transformative educational experience, one that has always kept me learning. For this, I am deeply grateful.

The Society of Jesus created the context for unforgettable apostolic experiences, both in Peru and in the United States. For these, I am deeply grateful.  

The Society of Jesus taught me to recognize the face of a brother or a sister in every man or woman. For this, I am deeply grateful.  

The Society of Jesus trained me to find God in all things and to anchor my prayer in the Eucharist and the Examen. For this, I am deeply grateful.  

The Society of Jesus provided the means to live a fruitful life without falling into the trap of thinking it was “my doing.” For this, I am deeply grateful. 
  
Over the years, different titles become attached to our names. For me, the only initials that really matter and remain are “SJ.”
