The new year is an opportunity to put fresh heart and mind into rebuilding better from Covid-19, even as the pandemic remains unabated. Looking back at the past year through the eyes of faith, it might be said that this pandemic year was a graced time for us in the Ignatian family to live our spirituality more fully, and to even discover surprising new horizons of its potential. What are some lessons we can learn from our experiences of responding to the pandemic…?
