Acknowledgements In 2012 Fr. Stephen Privett, S.J., founded the USF Council on Jesuit Mission to encourage and support the development of programs that promote the mission, vision and core values of the University, in particular the first goal articulated in the USF 2028 Plan on USF’s Jesuit Catholic tradition. We wish to thank our colleagues on the 2012–2013 USF Council on Jesuit Mission who have taken on this challenge, and supported this book project over the past year, advising on the contents, contributors and discussion questions: Paul Bernadicou, S.J., Greg Bonfiglio, S.J., Michele Centrella, Corey Cook, Melissa Dale, Jeff Dillon, S.J., Julia Dowd, Mike Duffy, Donal Godfrey, S.J., James Hanvey, S.J., Tim Iglesias, Steve Katsouros, S.J., John Koeplin, S.J., Tom Lucas, S.J., David Macmillan, Sonny Manuel, S.J., Peter Novak, Vincent Pizzuto, Tracy Seeley and Mary Wardell-Ghirarduzzi. In addition to the faculty and staff members who wrote personal reflections for chapter 5, we are grateful to those who suggested their favorite prayers, meditations and sacred texts for chapter 4. In particular, thanks to Aaron Hahn Tapper, Aysha Hiddayatullah, Donal Godfrey, S.J., Sonny Manuel, S.J., Nina Ragonese ’15, and Megha Chawla for contributing to this section.
