Up on the Roof…

When Mr. Julio Minsal-Ruiz, S.J. is looking for a little spiritual solitude with a view, he sometimes heads up to the Jesuit roof, where he could be found on Monday reading Magnificat Magazine. When this photo was taken at 7:22 p.m., the sun had disappeared beneath the horizon some 14 minutes earlier, but was still strong enough to illuminate downtown New Orleans, bathing the familiar skyline in a blueish hue. Mr. Minsal-Ruiz — a Jesuit scholastic who teaches theology (Morality and Vocations) to Blue Jays — was taking full advantage of the new deck, complete with expanded bench seating, that the school’s maintenance workers recently built… naturally, alongside the pool.
