When the bomb fell on Hiroshima, Jesuit Pedro Arrupe was living only miles away, with young Japanese novices. They ministered tirelessly to the horrific sufferings of survivors. He later wrote, “In spite of this powerful weapon and any other that comes, we have a power much greater: the Heart of Christ. While atomic energy destroys and atomizes everything, in the Heart of Christ we have an invincible weapon whose power destroys every evil and unites the hearts and minds of all mankind in one continual bond of his love and the love of the Father.” What a witness!
