Many of us struggle to commit to someone or something. Commitment scares us, but it's actually what frees us. This session is meant to help people get over the fear of missing out (FOMO) so that they can experience the freedom that comes from making a good decision and saying YES to what is important.
Become aware that we are body, that we have sensations... and that these connect with everything that is deeper in us: feelings, thoughts, interiority. We are all connected, we live in community as a Body. In the Church we are BODY... what experience of body do we have? The way of synodality.

Educating for peace and public happiness are part of a bigger aim of enhancing positive mental health, recognising the current challenge and need to experience quality of life as a whole, not only for individual purposes, but concurrently dedicated to a common goal: promoting felicity conditions for the common good. In a moment in time where many of us are unease with our individual and collective lives, but also feel the need to maintain and be voices of hope, this workshop will invite to reflect upon and practice creatively a set of strategies, fundamental in science, that concur to the aims of peace, collective happiness and positive mental health.

Since 2015, Jesuit Conference of Asia Pacific Youth Ministry has started a network of Jesuit and lay youth ministers. It will be such a rare opportunity for young people and their youth ministers from Asia Pacific to gather in the same place in Vila Magis in Lisbon. To keep aflame this growing spirit of youth in Ignatian formation, the JCAP Youth Ministry would like to take the opportunity to gather all delegates from Asia Pacific countries. We will invite all country coordinators to bring their delegates to this gathering.
In this lecture I will try to show how in The Lord of the Rings we can find mirrored great characters and themes of Christianity. Thus, for example, there are traces of the figure of Christ that appear 'distributed' by different characters (Christ-priest in Frodo; Christ-prophet in Gandalf; Christ-king in Aragorn). As regards themes, we can list, among others: temptation, sin, spiritual struggle, the Eucharist, etc. Underlying this exposition is a philosophical-spiritual 'thesis': by 'circling' through 'unreality' or fiction we can grasp something more of the depth of reality; today's crisis of faith is also a crisis of imagination, which is why fiction (literature, cinema...) can be a great help to a deeper understanding of some Christian themes.
Starting from the synodal journey, we will explore and dream together about the place of the laity in the Church of tomorrow. Baptismal grace and the sensus fidei inaugurate an authority that must be discovered and valued so that the Community we are may become ever more real and fruitful. The building of the Kingdom of God on earth needs to be reinvented from within in order to truly touch the world.

This seminar will discuss this question based on a reading and discussion of a chapter of Ratzinger’s book, Truth and Tolerance. The seminar will engage Ratzinger’s responses to the relativism of modern culture and its rejection of all religious truth claims. In particular, we will focus on Ratzinger’s responses to the assertions that the cultural particularity of all beliefs undermines any claim to universal validity, and that all religions are indeed paths to salvation.
