Icons of Cenacle Spirituality: Saint Ignatius of Loyola

Details

This short pre-recorded symposium, created and facilitated by Sr. Susan Arcaro, r.c. is offered to any person who wishes to spend 15 minutes quieting their heart at whatever time of day works best with their busy schedule and the demands of life. 

“Ignatius, Courier of God”

Jesuit spirituality is integral to the charism of the Cenacle Sisters and their mission of cooperating with the Holy Spirit to awaken and deepen faith for the people or our time. The founder of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) and that of the Spiritual Exercises is Inigo Lopez de Onaz y Loyola, better known as Ignatius of Loyola. In a concise though hospitable recounting, Sr. Susan Arcaro outlines the life of Ignatius drawing upon her many travels and experiences in the Spiritual Exercises. Loyola’s story includes that of a conversation from personal fame and glory to humility for the greater glory of god.

We happily created this program during this 500th Year Celebration of the Conversion of Ignatius of Loyola and for those persons who are unable to meet during our usual retreat offerings.
