Course overview
This series of spiritual events is designed to mark the Ignatian Year 500 in the Society of Jesus. Everyone is invited to celebrate with the Ignatian family. We will seek together an experience of encounter with Christ that has the power to change us just as much as it changed Ignatius of Loyola five hundred years ago.
In the British Jesuit Province we are giving the theme “to see all things new in Christ” a particular slant: invited on pilgrimage, inspired to change. The Jubilee is a journey on which we walk or from which we learn. The London Jesuit Centre offers each term a way to experience this journey. Looking at the story of Ignatius in the key moments of his conversion, we will try to recognize something of our own life experience. The Ignatian Year is an opportunity to be changed, and so experience new developments in our life. We will look at our own personal story and seek ways to be open to change in our life.
Term 1 (September 2021 – December 2021)
Ignatius suffered a hit from cannonball which shattered his legs in the battle of Pamplona. He then underwent weeks of recuperation at his home in Loyola. Our goal will be to identify our own moment of crisis as an opportunity and to learn from “My Pamplona & Loyola”.
Those who wish to explore more, are invited to join everyone else in the province retreat, July 24 – July 30 2022, either online or at St. Beuno’s.
During this weekend Father Roger Dawson SJ will introduce and explain this approach to flourishing as life before death and he will make the link with our faith and Ignatian spirituality.
This weekend explores the human condition through your own life story, in the context of the Gospel story and the Christian spiritual life, using mindfulness skills and contemplative Christian prayer.
The team at St Beuno's have created this retreat for participants to reflect on Pope Leo XIV's statement: "We want to be a synodal church, walking and always seeking peace, charity, closeness, especially to those who are suffering."
This residential course includes listening skills, discernment of spirits, a model of Ignatian spiritual conversation and accompaniment, and ways of praying. The course will help deepen and improve one-to-one pastoral ministry, using Ignatian principles based on the Spiritual Exercises.
