Coined by Pedro Arrupe, S.J., who’s considered the founder of the modern, post-Vatican II Society of Jesus, this phrase speaks to the heart of the Jesuit tradition: We must become “people who cannot even conceive of love of God which does not include love for the least of their neighbors.” A Jesuit education encourages students to integrate contemplation and action, so they become men and women with well-developed minds, generous hearts and reflective souls — “agents of change” who work to bring about a more just, humane world.
