The flight of a refugee is, on the one hand, an act<br />

of fear and desperation, and, on the other, an act<br />

of faith and hope in the goodness of their fellow<br />

human beings who are waiting to receive them and<br />

help them begin life anew. How many refugees have<br />

seen their faith and hope justified? How many have<br />

been bitterly disappointed? What can we do to help<br />

them?<br />

Jerry Martinson SJ, ‘A <strong>Refugee</strong> Encounter’, Progressio,<br />
