Why does he join the Society of Jesus?

How does he know his calling?

The Jesuit Conference of the United States has launched a new video series interviewing Jesuits from across the country discussing their vocations, their various paths to becoming a Jesuit and what it has meant to them to answer God’s call. National Jesuit News will feature a new video interview each week. You can watch additional videos by going to the Jesuits Revealed channel on YouTube.

Today’s video features Jesuit Father Eduardo Fernandez, associate professor of pastoral theology and ministry at the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley. Fr. Fernandez reflects on what the the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola mean to him. Fernandez talks about his personal reflection on being a retreatant and coming closer to God.  You can hear more from Fernandez on his vocation story in this video and also what it means to live in a Jesuit community in this video from the Jesuits Revealed series on YouTube.
