I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ -- the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.

	Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of ~~deathâ€”even~~ death on a cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

This process has continued at a rapid pace; as a result, our interconnectedness has increased.

	The image of the Church I like is that of the holy, faithful people of God.... In the history of salvation, God has saved a people. There is no full identity without belonging to a people.... Thinking with the Church, therefore, is my way of being a part of this people. And all the faithful, considered as a whole, are infallible in matters of belief, and the people display this infallibilitas in credendo, this infallibility in believing, through the supernatural sense of the faith of all the people walking together. This is what I understand today as the ~~â€˜thinking~~ with the churchâ€™ of which St. Ignatius speaks.... We should not even think, therefore, that ~~â€˜thinking~~ with the churchâ€™ means only thinking with the hierarchy of the Church.

	Forty-one years after its suppression, the Society of Jesus was re-established by Pope Pius VII, on 7th August.

Today we celebrate the 200th anniversary of this moment of grace, and we gather to thank the Lord who continues to confirm us as servants of Christâ€™s mission.
