Abstract

This article presents a Jesuit proposal for the formation of young people coming to the World Youth Day 2016. MAGIS 2016 is the result of reflection of the Society of Jesus on how to take the opportunity of World Youth Day in order to be with the youth and at the same time prepare them to participate in it. MAGIS 2016 is organized by the Society of
Jesus through its Jesuit provinces in Poland together with other religious congregations of Ignatian spirituality, secular groups and Jesuit provinces of Europe. It is coordinated by a group of Jesuits, volunteers and various teams working in different parts of Poland. The motto of MAGIS 2016 is a phrase from the Prayer for Generosity of St. Ignatius: ‘To give and not to count the cost. During MAGIS 2016, the proposed experiments are to stimulate sharing, celebrating, engaging, participation and transformation.
