• > WHAT IS THE SUMMIT ON HUMAN DIGNITY?

  Part of the transformational experience that is Jesuit education is to start young men and women on an early path to awareness of social issues and current affairs, and to teach them how to become advocates for social justice and positive change in the world. At Brophy, the annual Summit on Human Dignity (modeled after those most often seen at colleges and universities and organized by Brophy's Office of Faith and Justice) highlights an issue or topic that is particularly relevant and informs students on its nuances, as well as its social and political ramifications.

• > FOUR QUESTIONS

  This year’s Summit will address four important questions related to our theme, Phoenix: Born of Ashes:

  
  

  1. What are the causes of inequity and injustice in our city? What are the sources of hope?
  2. How can we expand our sense of neighborliness toward all members of our local community?
  3. How do the different issues challenging human dignity in Phoenix influence and intersect with one another?
  4. What actions can we take to make the Phoenix area a better place for all its people, especially those now on the margins of our society?

• > SUMMIT PRAYER

  Heavenly Father, you created this world, even the very land on which our city resides. We give you thanks for this place, and we ask you for the strength and wisdom to build and rebuild our city so that it is a place where your love may flow ever more freely.

  
  Lord Jesus Christ, you conquered death with your Resurrection, rising from the grave to new life. Help us to conquer the spirit of death where it lurks in our city and in ourselves. When the systems and structures of our place and time have told us that doing your will is impossible, raise our hope up again from the ashes. Help us to walk in confidence knowing that you are at our side.

  
  Holy Spirit, you moved the prophets to speak out and you stir in all of us. Give us tongues of fire so we may speak the truth of your justice in our city for all to hear. As you seek to move in this world, in this city, we pray that you will find in us a spirit not hardened like Pharaoh’s, but eager to move with you.

  
  God, grant us today wisdom to find ways to deliver your message, eternal and as you make it ever new in our place and time, for our community to learn and to grow in a faith made real by loving action.

  
  Saint Ignatius of Loyola, pray for us.

  
  In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

  
  Amen.
