The Society of Jesus, alongside its companions in mission, continues to stand at the heart of the world’s most pressing challenges.

Sensitive to the struggles of our time, they extend their hands to those in need, striving to create a more just and compassionate world for all. This mission is vividly captured in the 2025 edition of the annual magazine Jesuits 2025, published by the General Curia of the Society of Jesus.

This year’s edition is a powerful compilation of over 40 articles and 10 personal testimonies, inviting readers to reflect on two critical themes of our era: forced migration and the search for peace in regions torn apart by war and division. The magazine’s striking cover image—a group of Rohingya refugees fleeing persecution in Burma and seeking refuge in Indonesia—sets the tone for a deeply moving exploration of these issues.

A Spotlight on Migrants and Refugees

One of the central sections of Jesuits 2025 focuses on the plight of migrants and refugees, shedding light on the multifaceted work of the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS).

Through powerful stories and examples, the magazine highlights:

1. The tireless efforts of JRS in providing aid and advocacy for displaced people.

2. Inspiring initiatives by Jesuit-linked groups to welcome and support migrants.

3. The often-overlooked challenges of internal migration, particularly in South Asia.

4. Personal testimonies from Jesuits and JRS members who have experienced displacement or statelessness themselves.

These narratives not only raise awareness but also call readers to action, urging them to stand in solidarity with those who have been forced to leave their homes.

Seeking Peace in a Divided World

The second major theme of the magazine, Seeking Peace, delves into the profound meaning of peace as rooted in Holy Scripture and the urgent need for reconciliation among people and nations.

This section explores:

1. The dangers posed by capitalism and its profit-driven motives to global peace.

2. The transformative power of prayer and spiritual reflection in the pursuit of peace.

3. Jesuit-led peace initiatives in conflict zones such as the Holy Land, India and Pakistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Northern Ireland.

4. Projects aimed at helping individuals and communities navigate and overcome destructive tensions.

Through these stories, Jesuits 2025 offers hope and practical pathways for building peace in some of the world’s most troubled regions.
