Edmund Campion was a man on fire! He couldn't be stopped. As a Jesuit and a missionary, he was a man convinced of who called him, who he was, and the task at hand. Nothing was going to get in his way!
"And
touching our Society, be it known to you that we have made a league—all the
Jesuits in the world, whose succession and multitude must overreach all the
practice of England—cheerfully to carry the cross you shall lay upon us, and
never to despair your recovery, while we have a man left to enjoy your Tyburn,
or to be racked with your torments, or consumed with your prisons. The expense
is reckoned, the enterprise is begun; it is of God; it cannot be withstood. So
the faith was planted: So it must be restored."
This reminds me of the Gospel Quote:
Can anything cut us off from the love of Christ -- can hardships or distress, or persecution, or lack of food and clothing, or threats or violence; as scripture says: For your sake we are being massacred all day long, treated as sheep to be slaughtered?
Rm 8:35-37
Rm 8:35-37
What about us? What's our mission? Are we convinced?
As a side note, please comment if you have any suggestions on the logo.
I like the logo, but am curious if the symbols have particular meaning for you. I would be happy to share how I might interpret them, but first wish to hear your purpose in the selection.
