Jan Lang se narodil 20. \u010dervna 1919 v Rajhrad\u011b u Brna<\/strong>, kde byl tak\u00e9 pok\u0159t\u011bn. Na popud rajhradsk\u00e9ho opata Hlobila nastoupil na velehradsk\u00e9 jezuitsk\u00e9 gymn\u00e1zium, aby se stal kn\u011bzem. Po \u0161esti letech studi\u00ed na Velehrad\u011b a dvou letech na Arcibiskupsk\u00e9m gymn\u00e1ziu v Praze vstoupil 8. z\u00e1\u0159\u00ed 1938 do jezuitsk\u00e9ho novici\u00e1tu v Bene\u0161ov\u011b u Prahy a v roce 1940 slo\u017eil sv\u00e9 prvn\u00ed \u0159eholn\u00ed sliby. V letech 1940-42 studoval v Bene\u0161ov\u011b a po zabr\u00e1n\u00ed tamn\u00ed koleje nacisty p\u0159e\u0161el na Velehrad, kde se v\u011bnoval filozofii. V roce 1943-44 pokra\u010doval v Praze na Strahov\u011b ve studiu teologie. V l\u00e9t\u011b 1944 byl spolu s ostatn\u00edmi studenty zat\u010den a do \u00fanora 1945 v\u011bzn\u011bn na Pankr\u00e1ci. Odtamtud byl p\u0159evezen do Mal\u00e9 pevnosti v Terez\u00edn\u011b, kde onemocn\u011bl tyfem, ale jako z\u00e1zrakem p\u0159e\u017eil. Hned v z\u00e1\u0159\u00ed 1945 odcestoval do Velk\u00e9 Brit\u00e1nie, aby na jezuitsk\u00e9 koleji Heythrop College dokon\u010dil teologick\u00e1 studia. Dne 8. z\u00e1\u0159\u00ed 1947 byl vysv\u011bcen na kn\u011bze a v letech 1948-49 vykonal t\u0159et\u00ed probaci v centru St. Beuno\u00b4s ve Walesu. Posledn\u00ed sliby slo\u017eil 2. \u00fanora 1956 v Lond\u00fdn\u011b.<\/p>\n

Zat\u00edmco se p\u0159ipravoval na sv\u00e9 posl\u00e1n\u00ed katolick\u00e9ho kn\u011bze, v jeho rodn\u00e9m \u010ceskoslovensku, kam se pl\u00e1noval po vysv\u011bcen\u00ed vr\u00e1tit, se situace kvapem zhor\u0161ovala. \u00danorov\u00fd p\u0159evrat ho zastihl st\u00e1le je\u0161t\u011b v Anglii, a kdy\u017e do Lond\u00fdna za\u010dali proudit prvn\u00ed uprchl\u00edci, pom\u00e1hal jim, jak se dalo.<\/p>\n

Nakonec se pr\u00e1v\u011b pomoc krajan\u016fm v zahrani\u010d\u00ed stala celo\u017eivotn\u00edm posl\u00e1n\u00edm otce Langa.

Od roku 1949 pracoval v \u010deskoslovensk\u00e9 misii, v katolick\u00e9 akci a ve \u0161kole, kterou s\u00e1m zalo\u017eil. V\u00edce ne\u017e \u010dty\u0159icet let p\u0159ipravoval \u010desk\u00e9 n\u00e1bo\u017eensk\u00e9 promluvy v r\u00e1diu BBC a v roce 1949 byly z jeho iniciativy zah\u00e1jeny pravideln\u00e9 bohoslu\u017eby pro krajany, kter\u00e9 se konaly v jezuitsk\u00e9m dom\u011b na Farm Street, v n\u011bm\u017e tak\u00e9 od roku 1954 bydlel.  Spolupracoval na vyd\u00e1v\u00e1n\u00ed V\u011bstn\u00edku<\/em> Cyrilometod\u011bjsk\u00e9 ligy, kter\u00fd byl po n\u011bkolika \u010d\u00edslech p\u0159ejmenov\u00e1n na Nov\u00fd \u017eivot<\/em> a od roku 1954 vych\u00e1zel jako krajansk\u00e9 n\u00e1bo\u017eensk\u00e9 periodikum v \u0158\u00edm\u011b.<\/p>\n
