"We should like to skip/The intermediate stages./ We are impatient of being on/The way to something unknown, / Something new,/ And yet it is the law of all progress/ That it is made by passing through/Some stages of instability---/And that it may take a very long time."- Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, S.J.Welcome to a new academic year! And welcome to Magis, the Student Life and Community weekly invitation to you---to go deeper into the life of the Jesuit School of Theology. Here we will offer reminders of what is happening on campus, at the Graduate Theological Union, Santa Clara University and throughout our broader Bay Area community. Our team does not intend this to be exhaustive but rather provide a nice sampling of ways for you to live out your studies within our community life here in Berkeley, California. We hope to offer you resources to experience "something unknown" or "something new" as you pass through this stage of your journey. We look forward to walking with you in this moment of formation. Enjoy the adventure! Featured Event

Silent Meditation | Gesù Chapel, Tuesday - Friday 7:15 AM - 7:45 AM
Beginning Wednesday (9/21)
We will meditate in silence for a period of 30 minutes.
Those who wish to do so will have the freedom to continue their meditation while the morning mass preparations are made on Tuesday to Friday.
To signal the start and end of the meditation period, the facilitator will ring the bell three times.
All are welcome to enjoy whether meditation is new to you or a long-practiced element of your prayer.
For those who would like a resource, we recommend writings by Fr Thomas Keating, OCSO as an introduction to Chrisitan Centering Prayer.
If you have questions or wish to assist the organizers, please contact Megan MacIver (mmaciver@scu.edu) or Manuel Santamaria Belda (msantamariabelda@scu.edu).
