While serving at a migrant aid center on the US/Mexico border for his regency, Jaret Ornelas SJ was called to help locate a father who had gone missing in the desert. This continuing mission to find those lost and left behind in the Sonoran Desert has led to reflections on policies that kill, and the grace of God which can be found even in the midst of suffering and death.
My Chemical Romance is having a reunion show. That got Jaret Ornelas thinking about the memories he associates with their music. Turns out, they are closely linked to his experiences with the Spiritual Exercises.
