Ignatian Spirituality

This post is based on Week Five of An Ignatian Prayer Adventure. One of the most powerful experiences of my life was the penniless pilgrimage in the novitiate. As part of my formation as a Jesuit novice, I walked with a companion across Spain for a month. It was extremely challenging as we had to […]

Each year when March comes, I anticipate that somehow the arrival of the spring equinox will coincide with the arrival of warmer weather. Maybe, just maybe, I can start to plant some early spring seeds. I am continually disappointed in the lack of a match between my ideas about the calendar and the reality of […]

What does it take to show up in the inner chapel with honesty? Becky Eldredge, author of Encounter Grace, grounds her answer in the story of the Woman with a Hemorrhage (Mark 5:25–34). We first need to name the real and be honest with ourselves. Then, just as the woman told Jesus “the whole truth,” […]

This post is inspired by An Ignatian Prayer Adventure. My father was my first hero, strong and powerful; he seemed invincible, and I worshipped him as a little boy. Then there was Robin Hood, who stole for the poor, Wonder Woman, the compassionate truth-seeker, and Aragorn, the king in waiting in The Lord of the […]

What do you do when you are scared? Do you face your fears head on? Or do you run for the hills? One of my boys has always been scared of getting shots. He used to work himself up over them weeks before they happened. So one year we decided not to tell him until […]

The words of the Psalmist in Psalm 62 echo with reminders of the comfort and strength that come from God: “In God alone is my soul at rest. God alone is my rock. My hope is in God.” These words speak to the depths of my heart and give me clarity on where I find […]

This post is based on Week Three of An Ignatian Prayer Adventure. The image of life as a journey of exile and return home has always appealed to me. Like many Irish people, I’ve moved around a lot. Brought up on a farm in Northern Ireland, I couldn’t wait to get away from it. Later, […]

While on vacation, I found myself praying before a tremendous sunrise. I was sitting in a chair on an old wooden deck, huddled against the morning’s cool breeze, watching as the reds, oranges, and pinks of the rising sun slowly stretched across the open water like a warm and welcoming hand.
