Today, our thoughts and prayers are with the Ateneo de Zamboanga community and all those affected by this tragedy.

May those who are grieving find strength and support, and may this tragedy renew our commitment to making every school a place of safety, accompaniment and hope.

Today, the global Ignatian family unites to celebrate the feast of Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491–1556), the founder of the Society of Jesus.

Ignatius’s story didn't begin with grand visions of a religious order, but with a shattered leg on a battlefield in Pamplona. In his long months of recovery, trading books of worldly chivalry for the lives of Christ and the saints, he discovered the subtle art of discernment: noticing where deep, lasting joy truly lives.

Wherever you are today, take a quiet moment to pray the Examen, reflect on your journey, and ask where God is inviting you to step into greater freedom and service.

Happy Feast!

Fr. Arturo Sosa, SJ, the Superior General of the Society of Jesus, has arrived in Kuching, Malaysia. This marks the beginning of his 5th major apostolic visitation of the Jesuit Conference of Asia Pacific (JCAP), a journey that will take him across ministries and communities in Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia.

A Mission Born on the Frontiers

• The First Footsteps (1545): Saint Francis Xavier arrived in Malacca, establishing it as a strategic base to send early companions like Fr. Francisco Perez, SJ, and Brother Roque de Oliveira, SJ, across Asia.

• The Dutch Expulsion (1641): After nearly a century of thriving ministries, the Dutch conquest of Malacca led to the banning of Catholic worship, the expulsion of clergy, and a three-century-long absence of permanent Jesuit works.

• A Providential Return (1949): When the People’s Republic of China was proclaimed in 1949, exiled Jesuit missionaries fleeing China were invited by local Malay bishops to help meet the urgent pastoral needs of their congregations. French, Canadian, Irish, and American Jesuits answered the call.

• Laying New Foundations (1955): Invited by Bishop Dominic Vendargo, the Jesuits built the landmark Church of St. Francis Xavier and its adjoining Youth Centre in Petaling Jaya, establishing a permanent, modern anchor for the local Church.

Looking to the Future
Fr. Sosa’s visit is focused on active listening—engaging with local youth, discerning regional apostolates, and strengthening the collaboration between Jesuits and lay companions as they respond to the urgent needs of Southeast Asia today.

In a beautiful personal memoir published in Pope Francis: in memoriam page, Fr. Jim Martin SJ shares the intimate side of a Pope who unexpectedly appointed him a Vatican consultor out of the blue, who regularly exchanged brief personal emails, and who anchored his entire papacy in the Ignatian margins—focusing on climate change as a spiritual crisis, and centering the poor in every homily.

Most powerfully, Fr. Martin recounts confronting the Pontiff regarding an offensive linguistic slip reported in the media near the end of his life. Where most global leaders would lean on PR defenses or bureaucratic silence, Francis listened intently through a translator, admitted his mistake with absolute ease, and apologized. He was a man completely unafraid of being challenged, because his identity wasn't wrapped up in power—it was wrapped up in Christ.

Francis taught the Church that to follow Jesus is to walk with the excluded and to speak with absolute freedom. He leaves behind a legacy that reshaped the modern papacy into a bridge of radical accompaniment.

What is your most enduring memory of Pope Francis's papacy? Let us share our gratitude and prayers in the comments below.

What does it mean to be human in an age when machines can think, create, and simulate? As artificial intelligence reshapes the way we work, communicate, and even pray, this question is no longer merely philosophical — it is urgent, personal, and inescapable.

Magnifica Humanitas brings together two leading voices at the intersection of faith, culture, and technology to explore one of the most pressing questions of our time.

Speakers:

Bishop Paul Tighe: Steering the Machine: The Church's Engagement with AI and Human Flourishing

Contemplatives in Action on the Open Sea: Life at Sea 2026

St. Ignatius of Loyola often viewed life as a journey, a constant setting out toward new horizons under the guidance of the Spirit. This past May, The Center Ignatius in Croatia took that imagery literally by launching the first international non-competitive regatta, "Life at Sea." For one week, the Adriatic Sea became a sanctuary without walls, where sailing, ecology, and Ignatian spirituality met.

Bringing together crews from Croatia, Slovakia, and the UK, this regatta was a beautiful expression of what it means to be a universal body with a single mission. On a sailboat, there are no passengers—only crew. Every participant had to learn the art of mutual reliance, navigating wind and wave in a deep spirit of collaborative discernment. Between steering the helm and pulling the rigging, the participants paused for daily Ignatian Examen, mass on secluded shores, and deep conversations about how we can practically answer the cry of the Earth.

Grounded in Laudato si’, the journey challenged everyone to examine their relationship with nature, stripping away the noise of modern life to embrace the rhythmic simplicity of the sea. As we look at the photos of Fr. Tvrtko Barun, SJ, Fr. Martin Benko, SJ, and scholastics Bruno Zebić, SJ, and Ivan Buneta, SJ, smiling on deck, we see the joy of a faith that isn't afraid to leave the shore.

The wind is already catching the sails for next year! The next edition will take place from May 22 to 29, 2027. Will you be on board?
