Gently, Lightly and Sweetly… |
|
“…Ignatius offers the modern-day pilgrim seeking to move from good to better, a valuable pointer. That is, to listen more deeply to the movements of one’s heart when considering those good options before us, and like Ignatius, to choose that which touches the soul gently, lightly and sweetly.”
JISA Canisius Spiritual Directors and Givers of the Spiritual Exercises, Mary and Mark Diggins reflect on Ignatius’ second week rules of discernment found in the Spiritual Exercises. |

Synodality - A way of being church |

Synodality - a journey of the living Spirit within us |
|
Pope Francis says that we are a Church on the move, and it is not always easy to clearly see the path ahead. Synodality calls for us to put our confidence in God as we discern a path of service in today’s world. We can be confident that we will receive the grace to do so, discerning the journey together, as the people of God, as Church.
We at JISA, are available to walk with you, offering parish retreats exploring synodality and/or formation of your leaders in the synodal ways of Conversation in the Spirit and discernment. |
