Have you felt a longing for a sense of peace, a minute in your busy day to sit and pray, listen to God, and feel more deeply anchored and present in your faith and your life?

St. Ignatius experienced those same desires in his life in the 1500s, and as he began his spiritual journey, he began to reflect on the ways that he could more intimately know Christ and follow Christ and serve Christ in his own human journey. Ignatius’ study, prayer and spiritual conversations across Europe as a layman led him to write the Spiritual Exercises as a way of understanding the importance of developing and maintaining an interior life with God to living freely and loving deeply and serving others in the world beyond oneself. 

An Ignatian Retreat in Daily Life, or otherwise known as The Busy Person’s Retreat, is self-lead and flexible enough to work around any seeker’s schedule. This Lenten Retreat will focus on scripture readings and prayer from the Spiritual Exercises. You don’t need to be an experienced pray-er or experienced in Ignatian Retreats or Ignatian Spirituality.  For this retreat you need:

• a desire to know yourself and Jesus more deeply
• a willingness to set aside 15 minutes or more each day for prayer
• a willingness to read scripture as assigned
• an openness to journaling about your prayer as you desire
• spiritual conversation with a spiritual director as you desire

Weekly readings and retreat materials will be emailed to participants on Sundays during Lent beginning March 10. Final readings and materials will be sent April 14.
