With an Introduction by Peter McVerry SJ Why might this man be
declared a saint? Pedro Arrupe, twenty-eighth Superior General of
the Society of Jesus, re-founded the Jesuits and re-cast Ignatian
spirituality for our times. He was a prisoner of Imperial Japan, a
first responder when the atom bomb fell on Hiroshima, a pioneer of
Catholic social justice and a founder of the Jesuit Refugee
Service. His mind and heart were shaped by the Second Vatican
Council. Few people-outside religious life-know his story. But now
that the process for his beatification is underway, he will become
known across the Catholic world and beyond. Best-selling author
Brian Grogan SJ, whose life has been deeply influenced by Arrupe,
has written Pedro Arrupe SJ: Mystic With Open Eyes. With a foreword
by Peter McVerry SJ, this booklet is a guide to the extraordinary
life of a great-souled human being. Arrupe belongs to the world
because he had a profound love for everyone, especially the
neediest. This succinct account of his life, 1907-1991, highlights
his dynamic influence on the Church of today as it labours to build
a civilisation of justice and love.
