About the author
Peter Johann Beckx
4 booksFr. Peter Johann Beckx, SJ (also Pieter Jan Beckx, or Pierre Jean Beckx; 8 February 1795 – 4 March 1887) was a Belgian Jesuit priest, elected the twenty-second Superior-General of the Society of Jesus in 1853.
Shortly after receiving priest's orders he was admitted into the Society of Jesus, at Hildesheim, in Oct. 1819. His superiors soon perceived that he possessed rare abilities, and employed him on several delicate missions. Young Beckx was appointed confessor to Duke Ferdinand of Anhalt-Köthen and officiated for some years as priest at Köthen. In 1847 he was appointed procurator of Austria. In the following year when the Jesuits were temporarily driven from Austria, Father Beckx repaired to Belgium and was nominated rector at Louvain. In 1853 he was elected Superior of the Order. The success of the Jesuits since that time, especially in non-Catholic countries, is due, in no slight degree, to the ability and foresight of Father Beckx. Besides some minor writings and occasional discourses, he has published a "Month of Mary" (Vienna, 1843), which has passed through numerous editions, and been translated into many languages.
