MASS TIMES

ST IGNATIUS Toowong: Weekdays 5.30pm every afternoon; Saturday 9.00am & 6.00pm (Vigil); Sunday 7.00am & 5.00pm.

Reconciliation: Saturday after 9.00am Mass and from 5.15pm to 5.45pm, or by appointment.

Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio is the first Jesuit, first Latin American and first Pope from the South. He is of Italian migrant parents [but not a “Romano” or a Curial Cardinal having had no time in his working life at the Vatican].

Raised in the high time of socialist fascism (a political cocktail mixed uniquely for Argentina by Juan Peron) he joined the

Jesuits in the 1950s. Quite unusually, he was made Provincial of the Jesuits in Argentina in his 30’s (1973-79) when the Jesuits in Argentina were in turmoil and the Jesuits internationally were reinventing themselves. The conflicts were as much about directions for the Order and the Church as Liberation theology burst upon the scene in Latin America as they were about local politics. Decades of political conflict over Juan Peron and his legacy followed by a military dictatorship divided Argentineans and the Jesuits there too. Holding the Jesuits together at that time in Argentina was no slight challenge But Bergoglio was also fully engaged with the worldwide impulses for change in the Jesuits then. They received their decisive expression in 1975 at an extraordinary meeting of the highest level of governance in the Order – a General Congregation. Bergoglio was intimately involved in that process.

For both Argentina and the Jesuits, the 1970s were a point of highly contested decisions about direction. The direction of the Jesuits incurred the wrath of the Vatican with John Paul 2 in 1981, setting aside the General of the time, Pedro Arrupe, proroguing the Jesuit Constitutions and imposing a Visitor to investigate and if needed correct alleged excesses during his time as General. Bergoglio is criticized for his apparent fence sitting during the dictatorial regime in Argentina during this period but led public calls for the repentance of the Church for its silence over the “dirty wars” and “disappearances” during the military dictatorship.

Bergoglio has been a bishop since 1992 and archbishop of Buenos Aires since 1998. While not the largest archdiocese in Latin America, that leadership experience gives Francis a solid 15 years as Archbishop with a very strong pastoral foundation.

In taking the name of Francis, Bergoglio is said to invoking the memory of Francis of Assisi He might also have a few others in mind – two Jesuits : the missionary Francis Xavier and the third Jesuit General, Francis Borgia, a widower, father of a large family and Duke of Gandia who joined the Jesuits in mid life and because of his administrative experience, quickly shot to the top job in the Jesuits.

OUR MISSION PRAYER

We, the St Ignatius community, are called to live the good news. We pray that we become the people that Jesus Christ called us to be. We pray that we know the Father, by the power of the Holy Spirit

through knowing Jesus in prayer, scripture and liturgy. We pray that we give hope to others by a practical, personal kindness,

affirming each person's dignity, worth and destiny in Christ. May we live out this mission of our Christian vocation in the spirit of St. Ignatius.

1. God worried that man would get lost in the Garden of Eden, because

men never ask directions.

2. God knew that a man would never buy a new fig leaf when it wore out

and therefore would need a woman to get one for him.

3. God knew that a man would never make a doctor’s appointment for

himself.

4. God knew that a man would never remember which night to put the

wheelie bins out.

5. God new that a man would need someone to hand him the TV remote,

because men don’t want to see what’s on television, they want to see

what else is on TV.
