Mark Raper SJ, Promotio Iustitiae no 138, 2025/6

Mark Raper SJ (AUS) reflects on the process of establishing the JRS as a tangible manifestation of communal Ignatian discernment, inspired by the approach of Pedro Arrupe. Drawing on his experience, Mark outlines the key elements of a truly communal discernment process. Through accompaniment, prayerful listening, and careful analysis of reality, discerning God's will leads us to make risky decisions that constitute a prophetic faith–justice response, transcending ideology.
