Prayer, Spiritual Direction, Retreats, and Good Decisions
The other day I came across a new site from Loyola Press about Ignatian spirituality, thanks to a post by Fr. James Martin SJ at America magazine's blog. The site, IgnatianSpirituality.com, has a wealth of info about the spirituality practiced and taught by the Jesuits, from the Spiritual Exercises and the discernment of spirits to a blog of the "best Ignatian songs" complete with YouTubes :) Here is one of the latest songs they have posted, The Palm of Your Hand ....
And here's part of their opening blurb ....
Ignatian spirituality is a way to pray, an approach to making decisions, a point of view about God, and a practical guide to everyday life. St. Ignatius Loyola was a layperson when he composed the Spiritual Exercises. His optimistic and practical spirituality is particularly suited to the needs and desires of 21st-century seekers. Ignatian spirituality sees God as actively involved in the world and intimately involved with us in every moment and place. Explore IgnatianSpirituality.com to learn what this spiritual approach can mean for your life.
Ignatian spirituality is rooted in the conviction that God is active, personal, and—above all—present to us. We don’t have to withdraw from the world into a quiet place in order to find God. God’s footprints can be found everywhere—in our work and our relationships, in our family and friends, in our sorrows and joys, in the sublime beauty of nature and in the mundane details of our daily lives. It’s often said that Ignatian spirituality trains us to “find God in all things.” ........

Thanks for the link to this Crystal. Leave it to you to find the best Jesuit stuff!
It helps to keep an eye on Fr. Martin :)
Ignation spirituality. This amazes me, because somewhere in my Catholic upbringing I learned about this very spirituality in which God can be found in all things, in all experiences...and I embraced it.
Hi SusieQ :)
Crystal, I have some photos up at blog of my heirloom hollyhock with its deep purple flowers that look almost black in color.
I was wondering if you have seen the ignatianlife.org site. It is pretty eclectic and interesting as well.
No, I had never been there. Thanks for the link - it does look like an interesting site :)
