Over the centuries, the Ignatian Spirituality has given us a particular structure, being and action to the Good News. Such particular charism or gift the first Jesuits received is also given to us to continue the mission. Our aim in the formation is to allow our faculty, staff and students discover their own talents and giftedness: people are gifted to renew, re-interpret and re-vitalize our charism and mission. In our community, we are gifted with the following:
1) Common story to enter – Life of St.Ignatius / ADZU History (Sesquicentenial Return of the Jesuits / ADZU Centenial)
2) Language to speak – Ignatian Core Values (2009 Year of Excellence / 2010 Year of Spirituality / 2011 Year of Citizenship)
3) Group to where we belong – ADZU community
4) Way how to pray – Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius
5) Way of proceeding – Examen (discernment)
6) Mission to undertake and – Frontier: Intellectual Apostolate (Depth and Universality)
7) Face of God to see. – Preferential Option for the Poor (Peace in Mindanao, Inter-religious Dialogue, National Election)
