The Making of a Poor Saint: Oscar Romero

Much before the announcement of Pope Francis to canonise Oscar Romero a Saint of the Catholic Church, the people of Latin America had already begun to venerate their San Romero, ever since his martyrdom on 24 March 1980. His witness to the gospel message that informed a faith in favour of the poor is as relevant to us today as it was in his own lifetime.

How Jesus Went Native
But why fuss about St. Ignatius, and that too, after his feast is done? What relevance does this sixteenth-century Basque nobleman-turned-mystic have for us today? Over the past years, I have kept asking this question, especially in the run-up to his feast. However, this year — especially in the midst of a pandemic — this question seemed particularly relevant to me.

At Van Eyck’s Optical Revolution, the Sublime meets the Spiritual ‘Van Eyck. An Optical Revolution’ at the MSK Ghent has been the largest exhibition of the Early Netherlandish pioneer Jan van Eyck (c.1390-1441), whose innovations with oil painting and realism enabled us to see the world like we had never seen before. But is there more in his sublime portrayal of reality? Rinald D’Souza reviews.

The Flagellation (c. 1602-04) of Christ as depicted in the Mir’at al-quds (Mirror of Holiness) — an account of the life of Christ — produced in Persian by the Jesuit missionary, Father Jerome Xavier (1549-1617). The work was commissioned the Mughal Emperor Akbar (1542-1605) and was produced in two editions — one for Akbar and another for his son Salim (1569-1627), better known as Jahangir.
In 1995 the Society of Jesus published decree 14 of General Congregation 34. Entitled, "The Jesuits and the situation of women in the Church and civil society", the document caught the attention of both the media and voices within the Church. Within the document, the delegates of GC 34 invited Jesuits, Jesuit works and Jesuit partners to dramatically increase the attention being paid to women and women's issues, work for gender equality, fight violence against women, and to promote leadership roles for women in the decision-making bodies of Jesuit institutions and apostolates.
While it’s not common for the Jesuit Superior General, Father Arturo Sosa, to speak to an audience of children or walk in the Garden of Eden, he did so on 6th March during his visitation to the Region of Kohima. The “Garden of Eden” hospitality centre was founded more than 40 years ago and provides shelter for some 200 young people from very poor backgrounds - many of them orphans - as well as a favourable environment to study, play and pray. Here is what Father General shared with them.
