Some schools have attempted closer relationships with the families of their students, especially in admission process. Interviews with parents help to ascertain the human and religious quality of the home environment. Orientation seminars for parents of entering students help them to understand the primary emphasis of the school. Despite these worthwhile efforts, schools will have to go much farther in building bridges between the home and the school. the orientation of Jesuit schools toward education for faith and justice will require much more dialogue between home and school to ensure that both environments are working to complement each other, rather than at cross purposes.

For, if there is any substance to our reflections, then this is the prolongation into the modern world of our humanist tradition as derived from the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius.

Only by being Man-For -Others does one become fully human, not only in the merely natural sense, but in the sense of being the �spiritual man� of Saint Paul. He is the man filled with the Spirit; and we know whose Spirit that is: the Spirit of Christ, who gave his life for the salvation of the world; the God who, by becoming Man, became beyond all others, a Man-For-Others.

-Pedro Arrupe, S.J.
