Statement of John Dardis S.J., President of the CEP

The Peace of Christ!

Yesterday was a historic day as we saw the election of our Jesuit brother Jorge Mario Bergoglio as Pope Francis. 

We join in prayer across our European continent at this Spirit-filled time:
We pray for Pope Francis: that he be guided and inspired by the Spirit of God and receive all the help he needs to govern the Church wisely and with compassion
We pray for our Church: that it find new energy and a new spirit of evangelisation in poverty and humility
We pray for ourselves as Jesuits: that we may follow ever more closely Christ poor and humble

May our Lord Jesus Christ be with the new Pope and give him strength and consolation in all that he does.
