NB: Please note that this is a change from the movie originally scheduled and in the brochure! ````` ````` ````` ````` ````` ````` ````` Spirituality Day: Ignatian Thursday, May 5, 2022 9:30 a.m. -11:30 a.m. Presenter: Sister Patricia Mensing, SSJ Stipend: $20 (includes refreshment break only) St. Ignatius of Loyola was born in the Basque country of Spain in 1491. His desire to live the life of a nobleman and dashing soldier was cut short by a near fatal injury in battle, which led him to gradually forsake his former life and to “find God in all things.” This presentation will examine how his life circumstances led to the formation of Ignatian spirituality, the characteristics of Ignatian spirituality, and opportunities to experience different types of Ignatian prayer. ````` ````` ````` ````` ````` ````` ````` Ignatian Contemplative Prayer Wednesdays, May 11, 18 and 25 9:30 – 10:30 a.m. Guide: Sister Marie Gipprich, IHM Stipend: Donation Ignatian Contemplative prayer was developed by St. Ignatius of Loyola in the 1500s. It is meeting God through story. The prayer develops as you “live into” a scripture story with your senses and imagination. You become a participant in the story. The Spirit guides the participant in prayer, where you allow the Spirit to work with you, within you, and around you. During our sessions we will “practice” this very special way of praying in the hopes that all might engage in it more often. It is suggested (but not necessary) that you attend the Spirituality Day on May 5th prior to attending these sessions. ````` ````` ````` ````` ````` ````` ````` To register for these programs, please call 610-581-0120 or email Sr. Marie: ihmconferencecenter@gmail.com Thank you!
