With Christ in Service: Jesuit Lives Through the Ages, by Patrick Carberry SJ
€5.00
Quay Books
In an ever-changing and unpredictable world, Ignatius of Loyola wanted Jesuits to be alert to the needs of people in the concrete circumstances of their lives, and to be free to respond appropriately.
Rooted in the practice of discernment and united through the vow of obedience, the Jesuits were to be flexible and creative, going wherever there was ‘the greater need’, always keeping in mind ‘the greater service of God and the more universal good’. This book tries to encapsulate some of the responses the Jesuits have made through the ages, by focusing on the lives of a few remarkable individuals.
The variety is suggestive of the Jesuits’ range of activities: from the hidden ministry of John Sullivan to the public protests of Dan Berrigan; from the unimaginable journeys of Francis Xavier to the theological insights of Karl Rahner; from the heroism of Edmund Campion to the inspiring leadership of Pedro Arrupe.
