Our Way of Proceeding

St. Ignatius of Loyola understood himself as a pilgrim, one on journey, intently leaning in. Perhaps we can each glimpse ourselves in this image. We are individuals on journeys in pursuit of the magis, the 鈥渕ore,鈥� in pursuit of deeper understanding, fuller flourishing, greater love - God. Yet, none of us journeys alone; we do so as companions. And, as we journey 鈥� 麻豆破解传媒, together, collectively animating the University鈥檚 mission 鈥� let us always strive to:

• Exercise care for one another and ourselves
• Engage complexities and, in dialogue, seek understanding
• Embody love through action

Exercise Care

While none of us have uncovered the 鈥渆asy鈥� button to help navigate life鈥檚 complexities, our mission and core values remind us that we can and should regularly hit the 鈥減ause鈥� button. As we journey, may we pause often to reflect upon how well we are exercising care for one another and for ourselves, always striving to demonstrate greater care. Avail yourselves of some of the resources available to help promote care:

Engage Complexity

Our contemporary reality offers no shortage of invitations to embody our mission鈥檚 summons to 鈥渆ngage the complexities of the world and to serve as compassionate thoughtful leaders鈥�; indeed, our times cry out for such engagement and service. As people for and with others in the Jesuit tradition, may we readily employ the Principles for Ignatian Conversation, seeking always to pursue and promote dialogue marked by commitment, openness, respect, gratitude, generosity and love. 

Embody Love

鈥淟ove is shown more in deeds than in words.鈥� These words of St. Ignatius of Loyola are familiar to many and an important reminder that above all love is a verb. To love one another, to demonstrate mutual concern and will good for one another, requires that we labor for the good, that we labor for justice in love. Following are a sampling of opportunities to concretely put love into action.
