Probably he was the first priest I had ever met more than casually. He was a man in his forties, heavily built, of tense energy. Sitting behind his desk, he constantly held a hand on a card-index file which was his "passkey" to human problems. Hardly anyone among his numerous callers appealed to this selfless man in vain. He went all out to help those in distress. "You are a newspaperman, aren't you?" he inquired searchingly when I entered his office in busy, downtown Berlin.

I explained how I had been searching for truth, how since my arrival in Berlin I had heard lectures of distinguished Protestant theologians at the university, how I had made contacts with various sects, just to find out what they had to say, how I was rather impressed by theosophy, how I had studied the mystics. “Of course, Father," I concluded," it is all rather hazy. I need some guidance.“ "Yes , yes," said the doctor, but again he was thumbing his file as though in there he had answers for all my questions. And then he pulled out a card. „Make a note of this.

Literatur über Max Jordan mit Hinweisen zu Guardini
- Albert Panzer: Licht von „drüben“. Ein Journalist begleitet das mystische Leben der Therese Neumann, 1990 u. ö., (5)2008, zu Romano Guardini Abschnitt über Max=Placidus Jordan OSB S. 73f.: „Auf der Abschußliste der Nazis stand Theodor Wolff in der ersten Reihe. Er vermochte zwar rechtzeitig ins Ausland zu fliehen, doch fiel er 1943 der Gestapo in die Hände. Nach vielen Leiden starb er in seiner Geburtsstadt Berlin. Auch sein politischer Mitarbeiter Dr. Max Jordan war unter der Herrschaft der Nazis untragbar geworden. Das „Berliner Tageblatt“ wurde verboten. Jordan blieb in den USA, um von dort aus die politische Entwicklung Deutschlands weiterzuverfolgen und seine Beobachtungen journalistisch zu verarbeiten. In Amerika genoß er so hohes Ansehen, daß ihn die Rundfunkgesellschaft NBC zum Europa-Direkor ernannte. Man hatte ihm auch die amerikanische Staatsbürgerschaft zuerkannt. Erst 1945 kehrte er nach Deutschland zurück. Schon vor seiner Emigration war Max Jordan in Berlin dem großen Religionsphilosophen und Theologen Romano Guardini begegnet, der an der dortigen Universität den Lehrstuhl für christliche Weltanschauung innehatte. Studenten aller Fakultäten strömten damals zu Guardinis Vorlesungen. Auch Max Jordan wird sich ihnen zugesellt und immer wieder auch die persönliche Begegnung und das Gespräch mit Romano Guardini gesucht haben Die Persönlichkeit, die Weise, Theologie zu vermitteln, und das literarische Werk des Professors hatten Jordan in einem Maße beeindruckt, daß er sich entschloß, zum katholischen Glauben überzutreten, Theologie zu studieren und Priester zu werden. In der berühmen Benediktinerabtei Beuron nahm er das Ordenskleid. 1951 wurde er als Sechsundfünfzigjähriger in Rom zum Priester geweiht. Er blieb Benediktiner. Als Ordensnamen wählte er Placidus. Als Pater Placidus beschloß er sein ungewöhnliches Leben in der Schweiz, doch nicht in weltfremder Abgeschiedenheit, sondern bis zuletzt als kritischer Beobachter der weltpolitischen Szene. … Noch weiter holt er in dem Romano Guardini gewidmeten Band „Antwort auf das Wort“ („Zur Sinndeutung des Glaubens“) aus.“ [neu aufgenommen] - [Monographie] - http://www.licht-von-drueben.de/07_jordan.htm;
