Manuel Hurtado, SJ (BOL), offers a personal testimony on faith, justice, and the reality of practical atheism in Bolivia. Drawing on academic and pastoral work, he shares his encounters with people and their questions directed toward Faith that demands Justice. He says: The wound of practical atheism is real, but it can become an opportunity to proclaim a God greater than our inconsistencies: a God who is not offended by being forgotten, but who strives to return by discreet, often invisible paths. Grounded in GC 32, Ignatian spirituality, and liberation theology, he concludes that faith becomes credible only when embodied in practices of justice and care for life.

Martin Maier, SJ reflects on his lifelong journey in the Jesuit mission of faith and justice, shaped by encounters with poverty, martyrdom, and global struggle. From formative experiences in El Salvador and the legacy of Archbishop Óscar Romero to supporting refugees in the Balkans and advocating for marginalized communities in India, his vocation deepened through direct engagement with suffering and hope. Through journalism, theological study, and leadership in humanitarian work, Maier highlights the universal mission of the Society of Jesus—building bridges, defending human dignity, and promoting justice inspired by the Gospel and the vision of Pope Francis.

As we explore different ways to share the gospel with the world, Sossai E. Lawrence SJ (PATNA) shares his thoughts on Universal Spirituality. He combines elements of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Christianity in his perspective. Universal Spirituality can lead humanity toward peace, reconciliation, and hope. It emphasizes caring for our shared world, supporting one another, building relationships across different faiths, seeking truth, practicing compassion and mercy, advocating for justice, and working together to find meaning and purpose in life.

James Martin SJ (UEA) shares with us how GC 32 has marked his life in different apostolic fields. The mission of the Society of Jesus today: “the service of faith, of which the promotion of justice is an absolute requirement. For Reconciliation with God demands the reconciliation of people with one another”, has been—from his novitiate to the present day of his apostolic work—the inspiration to walk alongside all those who are excluded.

Ignatius Ismartono SJ reflects on a life spent "walking with the wounded. His journey has taken him from remote villages to the heart of interreligious conflict, teaching him what it means to be "the other." He witnessed recurring patterns of human suffering: how stigma leads to marginalization and victimization, turning victims into the guilty. Yet, he also saw paths to healing emerging from conflict, where tolerance blossomed into dialogue and collaboration. He says that ministry is about walking alongside people in their most vulnerable moments, allowing their resilience to transform reality.
