“The Jesuit vocation means going directly and radically to the Gospel and living its message fully, generously and in this historic moment perhaps even heroically. It is not an easy life. It is a wonderful vocation. Everything is for the greater glory of God; more is not possible.

Fr. Pedro Arrupe, S.J.
Former Superior General

What Is It To Be A Jesuit?

“It is to know that one is a sinner, yet called to be a companion of Jesus, as Ignatius was, who begged the Blessed Virgin to place him with her Son, and who then saw the Father

Himself ask Jesus, carrying His cross, to take this pilgrim into his company…”

“It is to engage, under the standard of the cross, in the crucial struggle of our time the struggle for faith and that struggle for justice which it includes.”

(From the 32nd General Congregation Decree on “Jesuits Today)
