PEDRO ARRUPE. S.J: IN LOVING MEMORY

Abstract

For us at Hekima College to celebrate this memorial Mass for Father Pedro Arrupe, our former superior general, is not a duty performed but an act of deep-felt filial love and gratitude; for the College, owes its existence to his vision and persevering solicitude. For me personally to speak on this occasion is an act of love for one who, during almost my whole priestly ministry, has been my superior, father and friend. I know that for you, our friends who accompany us today in this celebration, he was an inspiration and a great religious leader who has been a light in your lives.
