Good day and As-salamu alaykum! 🌙

The Atenean Legacy of Islamic Faith (ALIF)—a community composed of Muslim students of the Ateneo de Manila University—in collaboration with the John Gokongwei School of Management (JGSOM) and Office of Campus Ministry (HE-Loyola Campus), would like to extend a warm invitation to Salubong 2026: Exploring the Islamic Faith in Ateneo. It will be held at Escaler Foyer on Monday, 28 September 2026 (5:00 PM – 8:00 PM).

We hope to foster connections within the Muslim community and across Ateneo by providing attendees with an opportunity to engage in multicultural conversations and gain a deeper appreciation for the diversity of cultures in Ateneo. With this in mind, we have prepared activities and a dinner featuring cuisines and delicacies from a few Muslim ethnolinguistic groups in the Philippines.

Salubong 2026 aims to welcome Muslim students who have just entered the university and to introduce returning Muslim students to an organization where they may find cultural connection. However, the event is open to all those who are interested in learning more about Islam and the Muslim community. 🤲🏻

Please let us know if you’re attending by filling out the RSVP link below by 11:59 PM on Saturday, 26 September 2026. Thank you for your time and consideration. We are looking forward to seeing you! ✨

SEPTEMBER 23 | Today, we celebrate the feast of St. Pio of Pietrelcina, more widely known as Padre Pio.

Padre Pio was an Italian Capuchin Franciscan friar, priest, and mystic renowned for bearing the stigmata. He decided to dedicate his life to God at a young age and entered the Capuchin novitiate at the age of 15. He was ordained a priest in 1910 at the Duomo of Benevento and was later drafted during World War I. However, after it was discovered that he had tuberculosis, he was discharged.

Padre Pio was celebrating his thanksgiving Mass on September 20, 1918, when he had a vision of Jesus. When the vision ended, he found that he had received the stigmata in his hands, feet, and side. His life became more complicated after that. All sorts of curious seekers, including medical doctors and Church authorities, came to see Padre Pio. The authenticity of the stigmata was even questioned in 1924 and again in 1931. During this time, he was not allowed to celebrate Mass publicly or to hear confessions. Without complaint, he complied with these decisions, which were eventually reversed.

Padre Pio rarely left the friary after receiving the stigmata, but many people soon began coming to see him. After his morning Mass at 5:00 a.m., celebrated before a huge crowd in the church, he heard confessions until noon. During his mid-morning break, he blessed the sick and all who came to see him. In the afternoon, he continued hearing confessions.

Padre Pio saw Jesus in all those who were sick and suffering. Despite people taking advantage of him, even having his habit torn by souvenir hunters, he continued his mission. He even urged that a hospital be built on nearby Mount Gargano. A number of people have reported cures that they believe came through the intercession of Padre Pio. Those who assisted at his Masses often came away uplifted.

The stigmata was no easy cross to bear, but Padre Pio's life shows us that when we accept difficulties and sorrows with love, they can transform our lives into a privileged journey of holiness. This, in turn, is reflected in how we live our lives, for the greater good and the greater glory of God.

St. Pio, pray for us!

💧Faith Found in the Waters

How can our devotions shape the way we see and care for water?

In this episode of Campus Ministers on Air, we listen to stories of devotion and discover how faith can deepen our appreciation for water—not only as a symbol of grace and healing, but as a precious gift entrusted to our care.

From personal devotion to everyday choices, may our faith challenge us to respond to those without access to clean water and inspire concrete actions in our homes and communities. 🌊🙏

September 21 | Today, we celebrate the feast of St. Matthew, the Evangelist and one of the twelve apostles of Jesus.

St. Matthew was a Jew who worked for the Roman authorities as a tax collector. Because of this, he was despised by his fellow Jews and was often treated as a traitor. That is why it was startling for them to hear Jesus call such a man to become one of His apostles. Jesus even went to Matthew’s house to have dinner with him, which shocked the Pharisees even more. They questioned why Jesus was associating with tax collectors and sinners.

But Jesus answered them in Matthew 9:12-13:

“Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. Go and learn the meaning of the words, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.”

Matthew’s story reminds us that Jesus does not define a person by their past, their mistakes, their reputation, or the labels that others place upon them. Where others saw a traitor and a sinner, Jesus saw someone who could be transformed and called to serve God.

From being a despised tax collector, Matthew became one of the people who closely followed Jesus during His earthly ministry. He eventually became one of the four Evangelists who, according to Christian tradition, proclaimed and recorded the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

St. Matthew’s life reminds us that no one is beyond the reach of God’s mercy. Sometimes, we may be too quick to judge others based on their past, their mistakes, or the way they are perceived by society. At other times, we may do the same to ourselves, believing that we are unworthy.

But God’s power is not limited by our weaknesses. Rather, it is precisely in our limitations that He reminds us of His power to transform. He can take someone whom others have deemed one of the worst and transform that person into a steadfast witness and faithful follower of His Son, Jesus.

St. Matthew, pray for us!

September 19 | Today, we celebrate the feast of St. Januarius of Benevento, Bishop and Martyr.

St. Januarius served as the Bishop of Benevento in the late 3rd or early 4th century and was martyred during the Christian persecutions under the Roman Emperor Diocletian. Little is known with certainty about his life. According to tradition, St. Januarius and his companions were thrown to the bears in the amphitheater of Pozzuoli, but the animals refused to attack them. They were eventually beheaded, and the blood of St. Januarius is believed to be preserved in Naples as a relic.

For centuries, the people of Naples have deeply venerated St. Januarius as their protector and Patron Saint. He is also the patron saint of blood banks and is invoked against volcanic eruptions.

A remarkable tradition associated with St. Januarius is the liquefaction of his blood. On the feast of St. Januarius, September 19, as well as on other traditional occasions such as May 1 and December 16, the relic is brought out for veneration. The blood, which may appear solid or congealed, is traditionally observed to become liquid during the ceremony. At times, however, it does not liquefy. The phenomenon remains a longstanding object of devotion and has not been defined by the Church as a dogma.

St. Januarius’ life and martyrdom remind us that faith calls for courage and steadfastness, especially in times of trial. Though little is known about his earthly life, his witness continues to inspire generations of believers. May we, like St. Januarius, remain faithful to Christ even in difficult circumstances and have the courage to stand firm in our faith. May his example remind us that a life offered in love and faith can continue to bear fruit long after we are gone.

St. Januarius, pray for us!

SEPTEMBER 17 | Today, we celebrate the memorial of St. Robert Bellarmine, Bishop and Doctor of the Church.

St. Robert was known for his intelligence even as a child. He quickly memorized pages of books and poems, including Virgil’s poems in Latin. At eighteen, he entered the Jesuit novitiate in Rome, where he also excelled. His theological studies immersed him in the scholastic theology of Thomism. He studied in Padua and then in Louvain, in modern-day Belgium, where he was ordained a priest in 1570 at the age of twenty-eight.

Shortly afterward, he was assigned to teach at the University of Louvain, where he just finished his theological studies. Six years later, he was assigned to teach at the Roman College, now the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. It was at this university that he became the spiritual director and confessor of the seminarian and future saint, Aloysius Gonzaga.

St. Robert Bellarmine was naturally gifted with a brilliant mind. He became widely respected for his brilliance and preaching. With these gifts, he devoted himself and every natural ability to the service and glory of God.

May the life of St. Robert Bellarmine help us reflect on and see the God-given gifts within us, and may we have the courage to share these gifts with others in service and for the greater glory of God.

St. Robert Bellarmine, pray for us!

SEPTEMBER 15 | Today, we celebrate the Memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows, a title for the Virgin Mary that honors the deep grief and suffering she experienced throughout the life, Passion, and death of Jesus Christ.

This memorial was not originally celebrated as a universal feast of the Church. It was established as such in 1814. Before this, devotion to Our Lady of Sorrows had already emerged through local celebrations around the Mediterranean as early as the eleventh century. She is often depicted in art with seven swords or daggers piercing her heart, representing her spiritual martyrdom and the deep pain she endured as the Mother of Jesus.

The biblical references to Mary’s sorrows can be found in Luke 2:35 and John 19:26-27. In Luke, Simeon foretells that a sword will pierce Mary’s soul. In John, we hear Jesus’ words from the cross to Mary and to the beloved disciple, entrusting them to one another. St. Ambrose, in particular, presents Mary as a sorrowful yet powerful figure at the foot of the cross. While others fled, she remained there fearlessly, standing beside her suffering Son.

Our Lady of Sorrows reminds us that sorrow does not mean the absence of faith. At the foot of the cross, she remained present even when she could not understand or change what was happening. Her faithful presence shows us that, in our own moments of pain, we do not have to face suffering alone. Like Mary, we are invited to remain close to Jesus, trusting that even in the deepest sorrow, God is present and working in ways we may not yet see.

Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us!
