One day, I was walking through the Loyola University Chicago library and overheard two students talking about assigned research on immigration reform.

They had stumbled upon the Ignatian Solidarity Network’s website and were digging through, when the student looked at his compatriot and said, “Man, I gotta rethink everything I believe in because, it’s like, Jesus wants me to do this stuff now.”

That accessibility, those clear connections…that push to concretize the issues of justice and how faith is asking us to respond to them…in the lives of students, in a way that feels like they can do it…that it is something that they are capable of and something that they have unique gifts to approach it with—that is the real gift of ISN.

I encourage you to consider contributing to ISN's End of the Year campaign. Any size gift helps this small but mighty organization continue to inspire prophetic action in the hearts and lives of the Ignatian family. Donate today.

Peace and Joy,
