For Deeper Conversations in 2024, we will be taking a journey through Volume 1 of The Ignatian Journey: A Contemporary Approach to the Spiritual Exercises.
“The purpose of the Exercises is very practical: to grow in union with God, who frees us to make good decisions about our lives and to “help souls.” Ignatius invites us into an intimate encounter with God, revealed in Jesus Christ so that we can learn to think and act more like Christ. The Exercises help us grow in interior freedom from sin and disordered loves so that we can respond more generously to God’s call in our life.” (Kevin O’Brien, The Ignatian Adventure)
Volume 1 “The Adventure Begins: Encountering the Unconditional, Creative, Inviting Love of God” is the first six weeks of a 32-week journey and is considered the Preparation Days of the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola. Each week of content offers an introduction to the week, a suggested grace to pray for, Scripture passages, a prayer/poem, a reflection, a chapter of reading, relevant resources to listen to or watch, a visio divina (art), and a journal question.
