Praying with St Ignatius - Exploring major themes of the Spiritual Exercises and meeting God through them. 'Take, Lord and receive all my liberty…Give me your love and your grace for this is sufficient for me.’ [234]SE
Join Sister Eveleen Retreat House and Ignatian Spiritual Director Colin Renouf for this 2-night silent retreat exploring the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius of Loyola.
We will begin by reflecting on: Who was Ignatius? And what are 'The Spiritual Exercises'?
Then we will consider some of the key themes of the Exercises: Radically Loved, Principle & Foundation, Freedom, Desire, Contemplating Christ and ending with how we are delightfully loved by God.
The goal of the Exercises is to grow in union with God, thus gaining inner freedom and becoming more like Christ who was free to love and to serve.
