This direct experience of racism became a crucible for me.\" In describing this painful journey, which included becoming aware of the ambiguous history of his own Jesuit order, Saint-Patrick embarked on a fresh reading of The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. The basic principles of Jesuit formation--the \"discernment of spirits,\" the examination of conscience, the imaginative identification with Jesus in his sufferings, death, and resurrection--became an entry to his own journey of hope and resurrection. These principles and practices, he concludes, hold promise of conversion and healing for a church and a society still caught in the crucible of racism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRELIGION \/ Christian Living \/ Spiritual Growth\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRELIGION \/ Christian Living \/ Social Issues\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTHE CRUCIBLE OF RACISM\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIgnatian Spirituality and the Power of Hope\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePatrick Saint-Jean, SJ \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCover design: Ponie Sheehan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eORBIS LOGO\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e978-1-62698-468-4 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatrick Saint-Jean, SJ, Psy.D., \u003c\/b\u003eoriginally from Haiti, is a member of the USA Midwest Jesuit Province.
