Availability is the strength of our mission:
\n\u201cAvailability is to be an attitude of the individual Jesuit and a characteristic of the
\nwhole Society: mobile, agile, responding to the needs of a fast-changing world.\u201c
\nGC34, D21,1
\n\u201cTo be joined with Christ as his companions in obedience to the will of the Father
\nallows us to become servants of his mission of evangelization. Obedience frees
\nus to give ourselves exclusively to the service of the Gospel. By freeing us from
\nour own \u201caffections, desires and interests\u201d, obedience lets us dedicate ourselves
\ntotally to what God loves and to those who are the object of God\u2019s special concern.\u201d
\nGC35, D4, 12
\nThis liberation stems from the encounter with the merciful love of God. Therefore
\nthe availability of a Jesuit is a fruit of his desire to be like Christ and a fruit of his
\nwish to serve Christ under his banner. cf. GC35,D4, 2
\nThe more a Jesuit makes himself available through obedience the more we
\nstrengthen the unity of our apostolic mission. Obedience gives our common
\nmission the dynamism and flexibility required to help souls for the greater glory
\nof God. cf. CN 149<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Grant, we pray, almighty God,
\nthat we, who glory in the Heart of your beloved Son
\nand recall the wonders of his mercy,
\nmay gain a heart like the heart of Jesus,
\nthat we cling alone onto your holy will
\nand that our hearts may be free to serve you in the poor.
\nWe ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ,
\nyour Son, who lives and reigns with you
\nin the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.<\/p>\n

Amen.<\/p>\n
