Abstract
Motivation and Justification The theme on the Spirituality of the Cross draws its inspiration from my own vocation story, where as a small boy I would find myself transfixed to the huge crucifix in the Church and wonder in amazement at the figure of Christ hanging on the Cross at Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish, Nairobi. Unknown to me then, I had begun a spiritual journey of contemplating the mystery of the Cross. When I later joined the Society of Jesus I discovered in Ignatian Spirituality a connection with the Cross and was especially drawn to the gaze of the merciful God through the colloquy with the Crucified Christ hanging on the Cross [Ex 53]. In my previous studies of Masters in Ignatian Spirituality I explored the meaning of the Cross in Saint Ignatius of Loyola, drawn from an observation that the Cross would appear in key moments of Ignatius’s own pilgrimage and mentioned in key documents of the Society of Jesus.1 It is this quest for the impact of the Cross on the Society of Jesus that led me to explore the Documents of the General Congregations held after the Second Vatican Council.
