FCS, Mark II, Weekly Journal for week ending about February 12
This has been the week for Ignatius. As I wrote last week, the reading
about him in Healey led to being intrigued by him. Then Dr. Eileen
Burke-Sullivan came to share with us her experience with Ignatian
Spirituality both as a learner and a director.
All I can say is, “Wow!” I really appreciated her helping the words of
the text come alive for me in a very real way. Now I am more than
intrigued by Ignatius. It has already been helpful to me in a number
of ways:
- The Primacy and Necessity of an emphasis on God’s Love
- The help in understanding the discernment process of consolations
and desolations.
- A nudge toward seeing it time to find a Spiritual Director for
myself (I knew I would when it was time, expecially if I am to become
one myself)
- An awakening to the perspective of the Sacred Space site, which is
based in Ignatian/Jesuit spirituality.
Certainly plenty of things to think about and to work on in my own
life. Getting more excited about the whole endeavor of growing more
myself and hopefully being graced by God to help others.
