Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1566) found intimacy with God and the motivation to change his life through the practice of imaginative contemplation.
During this day we will learn about the life of Ignatius and discover together how through his Spiritual Exercises he offers a highly accessible way of praying and of finding God in all things in daily life.
