JESUIT PERSPECTIVES • FALL 2020 3
Rev. Richard C. Hermes, S.J.
President
freedom alone is not enough.
Human culture exists under the
������������������������������������������������������������
more important than itself. That
������������������������������������������������������
something is God, and the eternal
perspective of God. In short,
the Catholic understanding,
embraced by the Jesuit tradition,
is that liberal education is
oriented to truth and ultimately
safeguarded by its relationship
to truth. After all, a person can
use freedom for good or for evil.
Without the knowledge of what is
truly good and right, and the will
or self-mastery to pursue it, a man
of liberal education is, at best, an
amateur dabbler in culture and,
at worst, a menace to those around
him. A liberal education, however,
joined to a religious formation that
orients a student to the truth of his
own life and the truth of eternal
life, leads him to God’s Kingdom,
that “pearl of great price” praised in
the Gospels. Gaining that pearl is
the ultimate goal of Jesuit’s liberal
education.
Yours in Christ,
