Every Jesuit-educated student cannot follow the model of Fr. John Kaiser, a philosophy major at Rockhurst's sister institution in Missouri, Saint Louis University. But there will remain, in Jesuit-educated men and women, a real and permanent commitment to justice for all peoples in all parts of the world. For Jesuit institutions, justice is multidimensional, with legal, social, economic and moral aspects. Justice is local and global.
Justice is micro and macro.
To instruct regarding justice, Jesuit educators must be global in perspective and still able to concentrate with fairness on individuals. The perspective cannot hide behind what is merely legal. The approach cannot be to absolve current inaction through what are presently accepted societal mores. Students cannot be sheltered from a worldwide awareness of injustice even though it seems beyond any human solution. It was the spring of hope What seems to be an impossible situation today, beyond all hope of any just ending, may be much further along toward remedy tomorrow.
