Dai­ly Reflec­tion
August 6, 2025

Rev. Beau­soleil, SJ, PhD, has lived in the Creighton Jesuit Com­mu­ni­ty since 2020.  Cur­rent­ly he min­is­ters as the Mar­ket Vice Pres­i­dent for Mis­sion Inte­gra­tion (NE/IA) for CommonSpirit/CHI Health while con­tin­u­ing his min­istry as a mis­sion leader at five local area hos­pi­tals: Immanuel Med­ical Cen­ter, and Last­ing Hope in Oma­ha, and Mer­cy Corn­ing, Mer­cy Coun­cil Bluffs, and Mis­souri Val­ley in Iowa.  Join­ing the Jesuits in 1997 and ordained in 2007 his Jesuit for­ma­tion focused on three types of min­istries: health­care, spir­i­tu­al direc­tion and pas­toral coun­sel­ing, and high­er edu­ca­tion focus­ing on young adult spir­i­tu­al development.

Rev. Kent A. Beau­soleil, SJ has a PhD in Stu­dent Affairs from Mia­mi Uni­ver­si­ty in Oxford, OH.  He also pos­sess­es master’s degrees in pub­lic admin­is­tra­tion, phi­los­o­phy, divin­i­ty and edu­ca­tion.  He loves to walk and be out in nature, cross-stitch and bake.

The abil­i­ty to reflect on oth­er con­trib­u­tors’ reflec­tions as well as being able to pro­vide a per­son­al month­ly spir­i­tu­al reflec­tion has become an impor­tant and inte­gral part of my dai­ly prayer.
