Dear Parishioners,
On July 31st we will celebrate the feast of St Ignatius of Loyola, Patron Saint of our parish and, of course,
founder of the Society of Jesus. There will be a special festive Mass with the Jesuit Community as well as
the University Community at 4 PM on the 31st. Since the Jesuit Community is temporarily housed at 2000
Commonwealth Avenue, while St Mary’s is undergoing renovations, the Rector of the Jesuit Community
asked if they could have their Community liturgy at St Ignatius. Members of the Parish and the
University are invited. There will also be the regular 5:30 weekday Mass in the Lannon Chapel.
In anticipation of the feast I invite you to pray with three prayers that come from St Ignatius.
SUSCIPE (ST. IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA)
ANIMA CHRISTI (ST. IGNATIUS OF
LOYOLA)
Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Body of Christ, save me
Water from the side of Christ, wash me
Passion of Christ, strengthen me
Good Jesus, hear me
Within the wounds, shelter me
from turning away, keep me
From the evil one, protect me
At the hour of my death, call me
Into your presence lead me
to praise you with all your saints
Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty,
my memory, my understanding
and my entire will,
All I have and call my own.
You have given all to me.
To you, Lord, I return it.
Everything is yours; do with it what you will.
Give me only your love and your grace.
That is enough for me.
PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY (ST. IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA)
Lord, teach me to be generous.
Teach me to serve you as you deserve;
to give and not to count the cost,
to fight and not to heed the wounds,
to toil and not to seek for rest,
to labor and not to ask for reward,
save that of knowing that I do your will.
Forever and ever. Amen.

SUMMER READING - Looking for a good book to read this summer? May we suggest Not Less than
Everything: Catholic Writers on Heroes of Conscience, from Joan of Arc to Oscar Romero edited by
Catherine Wolff. If you enjoy the book please come to the living room in the Parish Offices for a
discussion on September 15th at 11:15am. (If you don't enjoy the book, come anyway and tell us why.) All
are welcome!
ST. IGNATIUS MUSIC MINISTRY
Our 5:30pm Contemporary Ensemble will continue throughout the summer. Our ensemble members
contribute time and talent to enrich our liturgies week after week, for which we are most grateful. Our
traditional 10am choir will reconvene after Labor Day and will be looking for new members at that time.
Anyone interested in either group can contact Michael Burgo at burgo@bc.edu.

MAKING ORDINARY TIME EXTRAORDINARY
Dear Parishioners,
Summer is a blessed season—a period of relaxation and slowing down, and an
especially fruitful time to enrich prayer life. The liturgical calendar also transitions from
Pentecost into Ordinary time. At Pentecost, we are showered with the seven gifts of the
Holy Spirit—Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel (right judgment), Knowledge, Fortitude
(courage), Piety (reverence), and Fear of the Lord (wonder and awe). As you journey
through summer, the Spiritual Life Commission would like to offer you a simple prayer
“exercise” that we hope might make this Ordinary time extraordinary.
Inspired by the Spirit’s grace, we invite you to consider how these seven wonderful
gifts are at work in your life by reflecting on a series of Ignatian Examen-style
questions, based on the individual gifts. We will be providing the exercises in the
Bulletin every other week as well as on the parish website.
To deepen the experience, consider connecting with a spiritual “companion” or forming
a small group with whom to share the movements of the Spirit as summer
progresses. Imagine yourselves as disciples in Luke’s Emmaus gospel (Luke 24:13-35),
journeying together, reflecting on the mystery of the Resurrection and how the various
gifts of Christ’s Spirit solidify our oneness in Him.
Without a doubt, you are bound to meet Jesus on the way!
Blessings,
The Spiritual Life Commission
FORTITUDE (STRENGTH OR COURAGE)
THE GIFT I SEEK:
I pray for Fortitude, which prompts me to undertake very difficult trials and to bear
suffering when it is in accordance with God’s will and endured for God’s greater glory.
May the Spirit grant me the kind of courage that “bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things” (1Cor13:7), and may those who suffer in mind and
body be given the strength to persevere, trusting in the tender care which God shows
for all creation.
REFLECTION:
•
What anxieties do I nurture that are not in keeping with the sure hope of eternal
life? Can I “let go and let God?”

Queridos Parroquianos,
El 31 de julio celebraremos la fiesta de San Ignacio de Loyola, Santo Patronal de nuestra
Parroquia. Puesto que sea un miércoles, vamos a celebrar su fiesta el primer domingo de
Agosto. En anticipación de la celebración les invito a rezar con dos oraciones de San Ignacio.
Toma, Señor y recibe toda mi libertad, mi memoria, mi entendimiento y toda mi voluntad; todo
mi ser y mi poseer. Tú me lo diste, a ti Señor, lo torno; todo es tuyo, dispón según tu voluntad.
Dame, solamente tu amor y gracia, que esto me basta. Amén.
Señor, enséñame a ser generoso,a dar sin calcular,a devolver bien por mal,a servir sin esperar
recompensa,a acercarme al que menos me agrada,a hacer el bien al que nada puede
retribuirmea amar siempre gratuitamente,a trabajar sin preocuparme del reposo.Y, al no tener
otra cosa que dara donarme en todo y cada vez mása aquel que necesita de míesperando solo de
tíla recompensa.O mejor: esperando que Tú mismoseas mi recompensa.
Amén
Hablando de la generosidad, vuelvo a pedirles que nos ayuden en los ministros de la liturgia.
Las listas para los lectores y los ministros de la comunión se encuentran fuera de la sacristía. Si
tienen ganas de colaborar en estos ministerios, por favor, avise a uno de los coordinadores de la
liturgia. Todos los nuevos miembros recibirán entrenamiento.
Espero que reciban la bendición de nuestro Padre San Ignacio y especialmente la gracia de
Amar y Servir nuestro Señor, Jesucristo.
En el amor de Dios,
Padre Bob
