Since the Jesuits have 26 colleges and universities and 50 high schools and six Christo Rey schools preparing students to attend Jesuit high schools in this country, we ask the question, what have they done to help this country in its position as leader of the free world? Hopefully, they have taught the reality of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ is the essence of history. Cultures come and go. Wars are fought for the sake of humanity. At present, the war in which we are engaged is against the jihad ISIS terrorists. Our country has troops in every section of the world of conflict. Do our thousands of students believe in the reality of Jesus Christ; that He is the Lord of history? Hopefully, through the power of the Holy Spirit and the gentle intercession of the Mother of God, we can confront jihad; and that our students should be men and women of faith in their families and in their culture. Let us hope that our schools can show that the solution against war is the Holy Spirit who is the prime mover of history. May the Jesuits continue to teach the reality of God and the sacramental life of the Catholic Church.
