A restless knight sought fleeting honor
Dreams of glory filled his heart
Broken by a cannon's thunder
Silence opened hidden grace
Christ became the truer treasure

Reading lives of faithful pilgrims
Questions stirred his wounded soul
Which desires bring lasting joy now?
Which still leave the spirit empty?
Thus discernment softly blossomed

Roads grew longer, hope grew deeper
Pilgrim feet embraced the dust
Seeking God in every encounter
Serving Christ through every neighbor
Love became his daily compass

Our own world runs after shadows
Noise and haste consume our days
Truth is traded for distractions
Yet God's whisper still awaits us
Hidden like the priceless treasure

Lord, teach hearts to choose with freedom
Seeking only what gives life
Like Ignatius, walk beside us
Finding God in midst of living
Till all things proclaim Your glory

Happy Fiesta Month to all! 🥳🎇🎈

For refugees around the world, hope is more than an idea. It is what makes it possible to keep moving forward, even in the face of uncertainty.

On the International Day of Hope, we honor the resilience of all those forced to flee and recommit ourselves to accompanying them as they rebuild their lives.
