All Jesuits were invited to take part and in addition our mission partners. It concluded with a confirmation from Pope Francis in a special meeting with Fr  \nGeneral Arturo Sosa. The Preferences give a horizon, a point of reference to the whole Society of Jesus. They capture our imaginations and awaken our desires. They unite us in our mission. The new Preferences are four areas vital for our world today.  \n1  \nTo show the way to God through the Spiritual Exercises and discernment;  \n2  \nTo walk with the poor, the outcasts of the world, those whose dignity has been violated, in a mission of reconciliation and justice;  \n3  \nTo accompany young people in the creation of a hope-filled future;  \n4  \nTo collaborate in the care of our Common Home.  \nThe Society of Jesus will pay special attention to these four areas in the next ten years, 2019~2029 . We invite you to learn more and take action with us!  \nWe want to make a Gospel difference.  \n2  \nPreamble  \nthe UAPs & advent prayer  \nlthough the Universal Apostolic Preferences (UAPs) may inspire us to confirm current  \nAmfoies or leadys in whio new onh we areesse,ey arhingetnoot prdiscaerrilythaeoutignhingsof thoSdopir.iTtey reprt workeseInn  \nsense, we may see the UAPs as four roads on which we are invited to walk with others. As we do so, we will discover new apostolic companions, many of whom may often be ahead of us. It is also a source of consolation for us that the UAPs express some of the key directions the Church has also identified as part of her mission. At the deepest level, they speak of our desire to be drawn more closely to God and to discern the ways in which God is working in our world.  \nThe UAPs are part of our own process of renewal. They will become important ways into our processes of discernment. If they are to touch us in these ways, it would be good if we could first let them become part of our prayer. The liturgical season of Advent gives us a natural opportunity for this. With Lent, it marks out a time when the Church desires to prepare herself to enter more  \ndeeply into the mystery of Christ’s incarnation and his work of redemption. In Advent we can let our prayer illuminate the UAPs, asking that we may be open to whatever graces of renewal, insight and understanding God wishes to offer us.  \nWhat follows are suggestions for individual and community prayer. In so far as they help, then they will serve our purpose. But they may also stimulate further ideas and reflection at a personal,  \n community or group level.  \n3  \nintroduction advent & the uaps  \nith Advent we mark the beginning of the Church’s liturgical year.

We are invited to contemplate God whose promises are embedded within our time and history, shaping it and slowly bringing it to fulfilment in unexpected ways and through the least expected people. In Advent we encounter God who never ceases to surprise us.  \n9 The liturgy of Advent is a school in which we learn to listen and to wait with expectation and with hope.  \n9 Through that contemplative listening to scripture our imagination is enlarged: we can see how God does not abandon us or our world but continues with inexhaustible patience to call us to the new life of the kingdom.  \n9 In the season of Advent, we grow. Our hearts are enlarged to embrace the suffering of the world in God’s love. In such a love, we do not get trapped in despair and powerlessness because we know we have a Saviour,‘Emmanuel’.  \n9 Advent is the time o","cbCaih5chf6pkRsV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih5chf6pkRsV","pdf",7990897,16,"English","# Universal Apostolic Preferences (UAPs)\n## Advent Prayer\n# Preamble\n## The UAPs & advent prayer\n# Introduction\n## Advent & the UAPs\n## Liturgical meaning of Advent\n## Contemplation on the Incarnation and Mary","[{\"question\":\"What are Universal Apostolic Preferences (UAPs)?\",\"answer\":\"Universal Apostolic Preferences (UAPs) are the fruit of a long discernment process involving Jesuits and mission partners, confirmed by Pope Francis, and intended to give a horizon and point of reference for the Society of Jesus.\"},{\"question\":\"What four areas do the UAPs highlight?\",\"answer\":\"The UAPs focus on showing the way to God through the Spiritual Exercises and discernment, walking with the poor and marginalized in reconciliation and justice, accompanying young people toward a hope-filled future, and collaborating in the care of our Common Home.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Advent relate to praying the UAPs?\",\"answer\":\"The document explains that Advent offers a natural opportunity to let prayer illuminate the UAPs, asking for openness to graces of renewal and deeper understanding, and it includes suggestions for individual and community prayer.\"}]","Universal Apostolic Preferences (UAPs) - Advent Prayer | PDF",1790655139]
