We need Pedro Arrupe
Thursday, 13 November, 2008Father Pedro Arrupe, Jesuit superior general from 1965 to 1983, was a man who recognized that people who are hurting need a helping hand more than they need beautiful words, said Jesuit Father Adolfo Nicolas, current superior general.
During his homily, Father Nicolas said: “We are now in a gigantic financial crisis. This is a time when we need people like Pedro Arrupe, who recognized that each person is a temple of the Holy Spirit and must be respected and assisted. [...] The respect we pay to persons, especially those who suffer, must be double the respect we pay to a church building.”
