Pope Francis, speaking both as Pope and a Jesuit, asked members of the Society of Jesus to continue to journey to where Christ is most needed, and always ask God for consolation, compassion and help in discernment.
The Jesuits aim to "move forward, overcoming the impediments which the enemy of human nature puts in our way when, in serving God, we are seeking the greater good," the Pope told more than 200 Jesuits chosen to represent the more than 16,000 Jesuits at the order's general congregation.
