In the footsteps of Pedro Arrupe
Fr Arrupe praying at the Roman Jesuit Curia. (Society of Jesus)

The hundredth anniversary of Pedro Arrupe’s birth is a fitting moment to remember his vision for JRS and ensure, even as the organisation grows and the world changes, that its vitality is sustained into the future.

The reflections of Jesuits shared in this booklet testify to the enduring legacy of his vision. They prove correct his prophetic hopes of the role that Jesuits are called to play in alleviating the dramatically urgent needs of forcibly displaced people, and of the spiritual benefits to be reaped in this important modern apostolate.
