Mga Libro ni Jboy

A typical Jesuit room in Loyola House of Studies consists of a table & chair, a bed, an easy chair, a cabinet and a bookshelf. The bookshelf is primarily our concern: it is a vast resource for books used for making papers, speeches, and homilies. This blog is therefore dedicated to the authors of these references and books that make up my homilies. It is to them that I owe the ideas from which I have built my own. All of our ideas are not new ones: knowledge is built not in a vacuum.
