Ignatian Spirituality

Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty,
my memory, my understanding,
and my entire will,
All I have and call my own.

You have given all to me.
To you, Lord, I return it.

Everything is yours; do with it what you will.
Give me only your love and your grace,
that is enough for me.

- St. Ignatius of Loyola

Finding God in All Things

Ignatian spirituality challenges us to encounter God in all things, witnessing to the joy of the Gospel.  We go forth into the world as contemplatives in action, discerning God’s desire for our lives here, now, and acting on God’s invitation. We are women and men for and with others, hearing both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor—and responding. And we do all for the greater glory of God.

It is often helpful to have a companion on your faith journey - someone who is trained in guiding others towards a more vibrant faith life, listen to our struggles, and bring us to a fuller understanding of our relationship with God.  The Archdiocesan Spirituality Center can put you in touch with a spiritual director.
