Ignatian Year

The Way (International Jesuit journal)

July 1, 2021

The Way is an international journal of contemporary Christian spirituality, published by the British Jesuits. Through writing informed by critical and creative scholarship, it aims to provide a forum in which thoughtful Christians, from different walks of life and different traditions, reflect on God’s continuing action in human experience.

From the forward of the April 2021 edition...

On May 2021 it will be five hundred years since Ignatius of Loyola was wounded at the Battle of Pamplona, triggering his conversion from dreams of military glory to the service a greater Lord. Next year marks the four hundredth anniversary of the canonization of Ignatius and another of the first Jesuits, Francis Xavier. Spanning these events, the current Jesuit General, Arturo Sosa, has called for the celebration of an 'Ignatian Year', offering an opportunity to reflect upon the origins of this particular pathway to God. This special issue of the The Way, focusing on the person of St Ignatius and his First Companions, is one contribution to that celebration.

The April 2021 edition, published at the start of the Ignatian Year, focuses on the person of St Ignatius and his First Companions. Information about this issue can be found here.
