I could find a quotation from the same article. It is dated 1946:
« Quelques réflexions sur le retentissement spirituel de la bombe
atomique » (*Etudes,* septembre 1946).
You can find it online here:

Your quote seems to be in paragraph 3: « Comme si le devoir de tout homme
ne consistait pas en définitive à pousser jusqu’au bout toutes les
puissances créatives de la connaissance et de l’action ! ».
Teilhard was a Jesuit!
Best,
Clément
