My Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

On this Feast of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, we give thanks for the many gifts that God has bestowed on the Society of Jesus and our colleagues and friends throughout the world. Here at America, we offer a special prayer of thanksgiving for our readers, writers, staff, benefactors and other supporters. Without you, our work would be pointless and impossible. Thank you. May God continue to bless you and America; may He also grant us the grace, in the words of Pope Francis, to realize anew that "to serve Christ is to love this concrete church and to serve it with generosity." 

In Him,
Matt Malone, S.J.
Editor in Chief

"Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam!" God's glory is being fully alive in a Church that is fully alive and in a society that loves and embraces life as God's gift and glory! Thank you "America" for your spiritual, intellectual, ad moral leadership. Joe Hannon

Easter will not be postponed this year. It will not wait until the war is over. It is precisely now, in our darkest hour, that resurrection finds us.

The paradox at the heart of Christianity is that we must die in order to live again. And few movies witness to that truth like “Romero” (1989).
