Companions in a mission of justice and reconciliation

Fr General’s grace-filled third visit to Asia

The weeks of July 14 to August 4 were a special moment of grace for the Jesuit Conference of Asia Pacific as we welcomed Superior General Fr Arturo Sosa SJ for the third time. This time, he visited Korea, Macau, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan. Jesuits and collaborators were encouraged by his presence and Fr General Sosa learnt much about the mission of reconciliation in Korea, listened to the situation of the Catholic Church in the Chinese context and felt the profound impact of Fr Pedro Arrupe SJ who ministered to victims of the Hiroshima bombing. He left us with the message to live and work in confidence and hope, assured of God’s presence and accompaniment.
