St. Ignatius & Ignatian Spirituality
Who was St. Ignatius?
When he wrote the Spiritual Exercises, the man who would become know as St. Ignatius of Loyola was a layman. The Exercises were the outcome of his amazing ability to reflect upon his own actions, thoughts, and feelings and his deep sense of God’s presence.
What is Ignatian Spirituality?
At the core of the spirituality of St. Ignatius is a profound acknowledgement that all is gift from God and that each of us is loved by God beyond our comprehension. That is the basis, or as Ignatius put it, the “Principal and Foundation” for our being.
