The 20th May 2021 marks the 500th anniversary of that moment when a French cannonball ripped through the legs of Ignatius of Loyola and set in train events which would change his life and have an extraordinary impact on the world.
To mark the anniversary, Fr Adrian Porter SJ offers a reflection on that event, on the way it played out in Ignatius' mind, leading to his conversion and a whole new way of relating to God. Using images and extracts from the writings of St Ignatius, this will be an opportunity to observe close-up the way in which God deals "immediately" (as Ignatius phrases it) with a soul and the soul "with its creator and Lord".
Through Lent with St Matthew is a daily online Lenten retreat from the Jesuit-run Ignatian Spirituality Centre in Glasgow, offering guided Gospel reflections in the Ignatian tradition to help you grow closer to Christ through prayer each day of the season.
Start the first stage of the Full Spiritual Exercises at St Beuno’s Jesuit Spirituality Centre in St Asaph (north Wales), 20 Feb – 3 Mar 2026, and explore St Ignatius’ timeless path of prayer and spiritual growth.
Deepen your spiritual life this Lent with a flexible retreat—pray daily, meet weekly, and discover the ‘sacred within the ordinary,’ run in collaboration by the Edinburgh Jesuit Church, Ps & Gs Church, and the Epiphany Group.
