Ignatian Spirituality Prayer Group: Saturday, Oct. 10, 2020 via Zoom

Are We All Ready to Follow Jesus? - Fr Marcel Rodrigues Sj in His Homily during St Ignatius Loyola Feast Mass - Mangalorean.com

Ignatian Spirituality Monthly Prayer Group: Every 2nd Saturday of the Month on zoom @ 10:00 a.m.

So what is Ignatius Spirituality?

· God loves us as we are and desires friendship with us in a heart-to-heart relationship.

· God starts conversations with us in nature, in our day-to-day experience, in relationships with others, and in prayer.

· We know God loves us because His Son Jesus lived a human life and died for us.

· We are called to respond to God’s love by how we live the life He gave us, by the choices we make, and by setting aside some time to be with God in prayer.
