“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…

  • Living Formation: A Love Letter in Poetry Form

    Dear Regency, Even before we met, I tried to control you, With what I thought Was best for my formation. I imagined making better use of myself, Weaving my medical background Into the apostolic ministries of the Society. Yet you resisted, asserted yourself, And revealed that there was Something greater I did not yet see. I yielded out of trust…

  • 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…

Sch. James Ryan C. Seneriches SJ shares his reflections on the "living formation" he experienced in this love letter/poem dedicated to the regency stage of his Jesuit formation: "When I expected to be a Jesuit presence That would brighten the faculty community, I later discovered that I simply needed to be myself. Sometimes helping, but often ordinary, even irreverent. I was reminded again that God sits with us, Laughs with us, and suffers with us. My fellow teachers showed me, Through their own experiences, That God is present even When life feels darker, uncertain, and difficult."
𝑶𝑵 𝑻𝑯𝑰𝑺 𝑫𝑨𝒀 : 𝑺𝑬𝑷𝑻𝑬𝑴𝑩𝑬𝑹 𝟐𝟏, 𝟏𝟗𝟕𝟐 54 years ago, Ferdinand Marcos Sr. signed Proclamation No. 1081, marking the beginning of a dark time in Philippine history defined by widespread human rights violations, the silencing of the media, and oppressive rule. Tens of thousands were arrested and tortured. Thousands were killed, while many others disappeared, leaving their families with no answers and no justice. On this day, we remember not just the atrocities under the Marcos Sr. dictatorship, but we commemorate the sacrifices of those who fought against tyranny so that future generations may live with the freedom they were denied. Today, the Ateneo Martial Law Museum and Library calls on the Filipino people to honor those who endured. Let us ensure that their sacrifices are never forgotten. 𝙉𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣!

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.
