More beautiful words from Benedict. He has clearly appropriated the depth of Ignatian spirituality. If one of the common stock phrases about John Paul II was that he didn't understand the Society, but I don't think the same can be said about Benedict. Before leading the members of the congregation today in the suscipe, he said these words:
I join with you in the prayer taught us by Saint Ignatius at the close of his Exercises — a prayer which I always find almost overwhelming, to the point where I almost dare not say it … yet which we must always appropriate anew.
