This direct experience of racism became a crucible for me.\" In describing this painful journey, which included becoming aware of the ambiguous history of his own Jesuit order, Saint-Jean embarked on a fresh reading of The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. The basic principles of Jesuit formation―the \"discernment of spirits,\" the examination of conscience, the imaginative identification with Jesus in his sufferings, death, and resurrection―became an entry to his own journey of hope and resurrection. These principles and practices, he concludes, hold promise of conversion and healing for a church and a society still caught in the crucible of racism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Saint-Jean Sj, Patrick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/17\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Orbis Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781626984684\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.30w x 0.50d","brand":"Patrick Saint-Jean Sj","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39825576951883,"sku":"9781626984684","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_9830461b-82d6-4a5f-9f0c-3b4f8df6ac5c.jpg?v=1660219611","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/the-crucible-of-racism-ignatian-spirituality-and-the-power-of-hope-9781626984684","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
