You can swap back and forth if needed. Pope Francis was a Jesuit from the core of his being and his writings give witness to a depth of understanding of world issues and Ignatian Spirituality for today. This is honestly a terrific treatment of the Spiritual Exercises for today's times as well as a good summary of Francis' teaching during his 12 years as our pope.
