Praying the Ignatian Way:
A Retreat Based on the Spiritual Exercises
March 3 - 5, 2023
St. Ignatius of Loyola is remembered for the distinctive method of prayer he taught his retreatants in his Spiritual Exercises: a way of prayer that makes use of the imagination to enter into passages from the life of Jesus as though one were actually there. In this retreat, we will try to learn more about this way of prayer, and to practice it as together we pray with different moments in the life of Christ.
