Praise the Lord for seven newly vowed men for the #MidwestJesuits ! The liturgy was live streamed for family, friends and Jesuits who could not attend due to COVID. The gospel was Luke 5:1-11 ... rowing into the deep with Jesus, the miraculous catch, recognition that we are not worthy and sinful, but nevertheless forgiven, called and blessed to be companions of Jesus, fishers of men and women for the Kingdom of God. Please pray for their perseverance, fidelity, deep joy and happiness as vowed religious. There are two #marquetteuniversity and two #xavieruniversity and one #loyolachicago one #universityofstthomas and one #universityofdallas grad. Also one #udjhs and one #creightonprep grad. #midwestbeajesuit #vocation

Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) has begun the process

Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) has begun the process of recovery from the massive explosion in Beirut on August 4. Thankfully, all JRS staff are safe and accounted for. Many received cuts and scrapes, but there were no serious injuries.

Two beneficiaries of the JRS center in Burj Hammoud were killed by the explosion and one remains listed as missing. At least 135 people have been killed and over 5,000 have been injured by this explosion which was felt as far away as Cyprus. JRS regional, country offices, and the Burj Hammoud program are each about 1.5 km from the center of the explosion.

Midwest Jesuits Ryan Birjoo and Garrett Gundlach will be relocating to Beirut soon; Ryan Birjoo will be doing his regency with JRS, and Garrett Gundlach will be doing language studies and pastoral work.

As JRS accompanies the most vulnerable in Lebanon, they rely on the generosity of donor partners. Jesuit Refugee Service/USA has established a fund for Beirut recovery at www.jrsusa.org/beirut.

Dear Friends:⁣
⁣
Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) MENA has begun the process of recovery from the massive explosion in Beirut on 04 August 2020. Thankfully, all JRS staff are safe and accounted for. Many received cuts and scrapes, but there were no serious injuries. I am sorry to share that two of the beneficiaries of the JRS center in Burj Hammoud were killed by the explosion and one remains listed as missing.⁣
⁣
JRS regional offices, country offices, and the Burj Hammoud social center and school were all badly damaged. We have begun the process of cleaning and assessing the damage.⁣
⁣
At least 135 people have been killed and over 5,000 have been injured by this explosion which was felt as far away as Cyprus. JRS regional, country offices and the Burj Hammoud program are each about 1.5 Km from the center of the explosion.⁣
⁣
This explosion happens during a time of significant social and economic turmoil in Lebanon, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic. These have complicated recovery efforts.⁣
⁣
This has been a difficult experience for everyone, but particularly for those who have already fled war and conflict. JRS social workers and psychologists have already begun hearing these difficulties. The buildings will be repaired more easily than the human wounds. The work of accompaniment now will be the long-term healing that is necessary for human flourishing.⁣
⁣
Thank you for the concern and support demonstrated by the friends of JRS. As we accompany the most vulnerable in Lebanon, we are grateful for all of our partners. We will rely on the generosity of our donor partners.⁣
⁣
Our immediate plan is to expand the basic needs distribution that we had been doing for COVID-19 relief. Those basic needs (food, hygiene, housing) will be even more important now. We are considering other longer-term options as well.⁣

When Jesus tells his disciples to feed the 5000, it must have seemed like an impossible task. @marteensj reflects on this command and the example that Jesus gives us to act with compassion. #1MinHomily
