An Hoang Vu, SJ

An Hoang Vu, SJ was born and raised in Vietnam. He immigrated to the U.S. with his family when he was about 18 years old. Having two identities as well as two places to call “home,” his mind and heart have been captured by the fullness of life in each place. Eventually, An became attracted to the beauty of different spiritualities around the world. He practices Zen meditation, and it has enriched his life and vocation as a Jesuit. He is currently studying Christian Spirituality at Fordham University, hoping to dwell deeper in the secret and sacredness of life that flows through each and every being in this world.

In this Holy Week, I remember Jesus’s words on the cross, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” I ask for forgiveness, for the damage that I have caused unknowingly, and I forgive those who have damaged me with their words and actions. Join me as I reflect how an ancient Greek philosopher and a late-medieval Spanish Basque Priest guide me on using social media for the greater good.
