"You must be the change
you wish to see in the world."
"Injustice anywhere
is a threat to justice everywhere." The purpose of Brophy's Office of Faith and Justice can best be summarized by the Foundations document published by the Jesuits in 1994. That document states that the success of a Jesuit school's educational ministry will be judged in "...how well it enables men to hear the message of hope contained in the Gospel, to base their love and service of God upon this message, to achieve a vital and personal relationship with Christ, and to share the Gospel's realistic view of the human condition which recognizes the fact of evil and personal sin while affirming hope." The Office of Faith and Justice works to encourage and empower the Brophy community to achieve this "relationship with Christ" both through the transforming power of prayer as well as by becoming involved in service to those in need on school-wide, local, and global levels. Pedro Arrupe, SJ, a former Superior General of the Society of Jesus, tells us: "Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the mornings, what you will do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything." --Pedro Arrupe, SJ. The goal of this office is to assist the Brophy community in 'falling in love in a quite absolute way' by working for the Magis and seeing God in all things.
