“Give me only your love and your grace. That is enough for me.”: Homily at the Mass of the Final Vows of Fr. Arnel T. Ong SJ

…Atong has learned from Ignatius to beg for only what is enough: “Give me only your love and your grace. That is enough for me.” With that, one can follow wherever Christ leads. Today, Christ says once more: “Come, follow me.” Atong knows much better what it costs. But more importantly, he knows much better…

  • Laudato Si’ and Integral Ecology 10 Years Later
    How did we spend the last 10 years of living Laudato Si’ and integral ecology? Were we trying to listen, trying to learn perhaps, but remaining indecisive for periods, with increased distraction, division, and denial? The main challenge is not a project design—or a technology—but good will in seeking collaboration across silos. Where have we come from? The encyclical Laudato…

"Jesuit formation is not just a formation of the head because it is holistic, involving the entirety of a person’s humanity balancing the head and the heart, the intellectual and the affective. God’s incarnation as the solid ground of Jesuit formation reveals the truth that the human and the spiritual are so interconnected that they grow in direct proportion: the more spiritual one becomes, the more one becomes grounded in humanity. This is the reason why Jesuits promote human means of formation such as psychology and human learning inasmuch as these deepen their relationship with and following Christ." - Kevin Stephon R. Centeno, SJ

On the 9th of September 2026, the Ateneo de Davao Theology Department, in partnership with the Office of the President and the Ateneo Internationalization for Mindanao Office (AIM), presented the 4th Theological Conversation.

Arthur Nebrao, SJ, MA, and Mr. Raul Lumapas, PhD, Faculty Members of the Computer Studies Cluster of Ateneo de Davao University.

Closing Celebration of the 60th Anniversary of Loyola School of Theology & Loyola House of Studies For six decades, the Loyola School of Theology (LST) has remained faithful to its mission of forming men and women in faith, fostering theological growth, and serving the Church through a rigorous and inculturated theology that is deeply rooted in the Catholic and Ignatian tradition, yet ever attentive to the signs of the times. Today, the LST and Loyola House of Studies communities came together to celebrate this beautiful milestone, made even more special as we also honored the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We began with a thanksgiving Mass at the Oratory of St. Ignatius of Loyola, followed by a simple but joyful merienda shared at the Cardinal Sin Center. From six decades of formation to good food and even better company there was certainly much to be grateful for! Here’s to 60 years of faith, formation, friendship, and service—and to many more years of growing wiser, deeper, and, like fine wine, better with age. Happy 60th Anniversary, LST and LHS! Loyola School of Theology

Today, September 8, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Mary’s birth marks a turning point in salvation history. In her, God’s plan of salvation draws closer to its fulfillment, preparing the way for the coming of Christ. Through Mary’s humble “yes,” the Word would take flesh and dwell among us. As we celebrate her birth, may we also ask for the grace to imitate Mary’s openness to God—to listen, to trust, and to courageously say yes to the mission God entrusts to us. Happy Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary! May Mary, Mother of Jesus and our Mother, lead us ever closer to her Son. Image: María y Niño by iknu.mx

PHI Apostolic Plan 2026-2031

Philippine Jesuits Apostolic Plan 2026–2031 charts the Province’s shared mission for the next five years, rooted in the Spiritual Exercises, the Universal Apostolic Preferences, and the call of the Church to renewed missionary discipleship. Emerging from a Province-wide process of prayer, discernment, and spiritual conversation, the plan identifies four key mission thrusts. More than a strategic framework, it is a tool for ongoing discernment and action, and an invitation to personal and communal renewal, challenging every member, community, and institution to respond creatively to the signs of the times. Grounded in hope and inspired by the Gospel, the plan calls the entire apostolic body to journey together with courage, discernment, and generosity as companions of Jesus in service of the Church and the world.
