Jesuit Refugee Service mourns the killing of Frans van der Lugt, SJ. Fr Frans was a beacon for all of us, he did not only preach about love and reconciliation but he lived it out every day--in humility and with compassion for all--until the very end, said JRS International Director Peter Balleis S.J. Although not directly part of JRS, as a Jesuit priest who had lived in Homs for 50 years, Fr Frans was a source of inspiration to all the young people who form the majority of JRS volunteers in Homs, Damascus and Aleppo. He embodied the JRS mission of accompaniment; he lived it every day, said Fr. Balleis.
