Apostolic Planning and the Journey of Abraham

Written By New York Province Society of Jesus

Please pray for our USA East Jesuits and the more than 300 Lay Colleagues who will join in regional discernment gatherings this fall on the Apostolic Planning process for the province. Father General Arturo Sosa, SJ, often likens the spiritual journey of apostolic planning to the journey of Abraham.

The LORD said to Abram: Go forth from your land, your relatives, and from your father’s house to a land that I will show you.

I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.

I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you. All the families of the earth will find blessing in you.

Abram went as the LORD directed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.

Genesis 12:1-4
