Please include in your prayers the intentions of the retreat directors and their retreatants who are beginning the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. A new group arrived in Gloucester today to settle into the place as the silent part of their retreat begins Thursday night after dinner.
We received the group tonight with a festive preprandial (drinks and hor d'oerves before dinner) and then had a tasty meal of grilled sirloin steak, strawberry covered asparagus, and a potatoe lasagna. We introduced ourselves by giving a brief biography and by naming the graces we seek for the retreat.
St. Ignatius, pray for us.
I am a Jesuit priest of the USA East Province who has an avocation of binding art and creativity to spirituality. I have a SoWa (South End) studio in Boston and I give retreats and spiritual direction using creative techniques to make a person's Ignatian prayer particular and unique. Ignatian Spirituality is the cornerstone of my work; art, poetry, prose is a way to help us get to the heart of conversations in prayer.
