Prayer: Pedro Arrupe, Father General, at the end of his life

1907-1991

More than ever I find myself in the hands of God.
This is what I have wanted all my life from my youth.
But now there is a difference; the initiative is entirely with God.
It is indeed a profound spiritual experience to know
and feel myself so totally in God's hands.


Merciful God, you gave Father Arrupe your deep love
which he shared with everyone his life touched.
If it is your will, glorify him on earth so that many
will become Persons for Others sharing your love.
That others will lovingly accept your divine plan,
I ask you to hear this prayer ..................................
through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen
