Representatives, Not Substitutes: Homily for the Ordination to the Presbyterate of Revs Bulan, Cruz, and Santos (Jn 10:11–16)

Dom, Bien, and James, allow me to begin by making one thing very clear to you. From this day forward, you are being ordained not to become substitutes for Christ, but to become his representatives. Hindi kapalit kundi kinatawan. The distinction is important. A substitute is a replacement for someone who is absent. A representative…

  • 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…

Let us pray for the Jesuit scholastics who are undergoing their Arrupe Month in the Philippines. Today, they attended Sunday Masses in the chapels and interacted with the communities in Miarayon, Bukidnon. They also listened to Fr. Bong Tajon and Fr. Kenzlee Ybañez as they shared about the Bukidnon Mission District. What is Arrupe Month? Arrupe Month originated from the directive of then Superior General, Fr. Pedro Arrupe, in his letter dated 27 December 1979. He intended for scholastics to have a firmer program on the priesthood during their theology studies, enabling them to develop deeper insight and reflection on the meaning of priestly ministry in the way of the Society of Jesus. The program's purpose is to further deepen each one's commitment to his vocation, allowing him to make his definitive decision about answering the call to ordination with the greatest possible knowledge and freedom after a long period of probation and discernment. Thus, before his priestly consecration, a Jesuit scholastic follows a thirty-day session, reading, reflecting, meditating, and praying about the meaning, responsibility, and mission of a priest.

It is a cherished tradition for newly ordained Jesuit priests to celebrate their Thanksgiving Masses in the communities that shaped and nurtured their vocation. Fr. Dom Bulan, SJ, joyfully returned to Roxas City to offer his Thanksgiving Masses, accompanied by his classmates, Fr. James and Fr. Bien, and other Jesuits. And, of course, no visit to Roxas City would be complete without enjoying its famed fresh seafood!
