Andreu Oliva de la Esperanza SJ, Promotio lustitiae, n° 112, 2013/3

Andreu Oliva de la Esperanza SJ (ECU, El Salvador) reflects on the renewed vision of community offered by GC 35, which affirms that Jesuit community is not only for mission but is itself mission. Drawing from his experience in Central America, he highlights the tension between apostolic work and fraternal life, emphasizing that authentic companionship strengthens our service. He stresses the need for communities rooted in friendship, simplicity, solidarity with the poor, and Gospel coherence. Oliva calls for renewed structures and shared discernment so that Jesuit communities may better witness to the Kingdom of God.
