Ignatian Pilgrimage to Spain 2018

Ignatian Pilgrimage to Spain 2018

We invite you to join us on a spiritual journey we took from Oct 13-21, 2018, with 30 friends of America Media that celebrated the life and spirit of St. Ignatius of Loyola. On this pilgrimage we immersed ourselves in the adventure, the challenges and the profound experiences that were Ignatius’s life, as we visited the places important to him and his early companions.

We called on some our local Society of Jesus brothers in Spain as we walked in the footsteps of Ignatius and visited Loyola, Aranzazu, Xavier, Manressa, Montserrat and Barcelona.

Finding God in all things is one of the maxims of Ignatian spirituality. And, we’d like you to be a part of this special journey.

Do we ever retire from being mothers?
Since retiring from my job, my husband has found me irritating. We had a talk (after fighting), and he is right: I am mothering him. Smothering him. “I have a mother,” he said. “I want a wife, a partner, a best friend.”

Fr. James Martin, S.J.: It’s Lent. Give to the poor—generously
Jesus asks us to be generous with the poor. It’s one of the foundations of his public ministry: caring for the poor himself and asking his disciples to do so.
James Martin, S.J.March 25, 2019
What does God take delight in? Our trust.
Obedience is a way of following God and when the young Mary assented to God's plan with her "Yes" at the Annunciation, she gave us an example to follow: her obedience came from trust. Can we do the same with our faith?

Is forgiveness out of fashion?
Even in our relationships with family and friends, forgiveness can be hard to come by.
