“What is it to be a companion of Jesus today? It is to engage, under the standard of the cross, in the crucial struggle of our time: the struggle for faith and that struggle for justice which it includes.”

Ignacio Ellacuria (1930-1989), Jesuit martyr in San Salvador, in Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2010) 465.
