Our Good Friday reflections remind us of our Lord's suffering at the hands of an unjust system and of one who washed his hands of responsibility. As we enter into Jesus' experience we invite you to recognize the experiences of complicity and suffering in your own life and in our world.

“The environment is part of a logic of receptivity. It is on loan to each generation, which must then hand it on to the next. An integral ecology is marked by this broader vision.”

This week we enter into Holy Week and approach the end of our JPIC Lenten Journey. As you recall we began the season with a self-paced retreat and now we close with one. We invite you to take longer periods of reflection and meditation this weekend to prepare ourselves to live Holy Week and walk with Jesus. The best way to be close to His heart is to recognize our own vulnerability and compassionate heart. This week is also called passion week and so let us move through this week with the passion and compassion of our Lord. Thank you for being part of the journey.

Lent is the PERFECT TIME to reflect deeply on the power we do have – yes, we ALL have power – and how we use it as saints and sinners.
This week we invite you to reflect on various aspects of power in relation to social justice and social change.

Welcome to the third full week of Lent on our JPIC Lenten Journey. Today we share the materials for reflection on “Racism: Question, Listen, Act." While racism was not a "named" theme from the Society of the Sacred Heart’s International JPIC meeting in November 2018 in the Philippines, the reality of racism around the world is implicit in all of the emerging themes as well as the Society of the Sacred Heart's current examination of its historical involvement in slavery in the United States.
