The Conversational Apostle : compassionate leader listens
Private spiritual conversation is an excellent method of helping our neighbor.
St. Ignatius Loyola
… (it is a) valued opportunity to engage others in quiet, personal discussion about the things that really matter… Jim Manney
what matters?
what is important?
what makes this a good day?
what puts a whistle in your step?
bucks up your back?
quickens your heart?
what is most important to you?
inspires you?
worries you?
what makes you proud?
sad?
curious?
will you tell me
one thing about you
that would surprise me?
what do you need?
how may I help?

St. Ignatius Loyola’s quote is found in today’s selection in An Ignatian Book of Days by Jim Manney is a series of daily reflections from the Spiritual Wisdom of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Throughout the book we hear the voices of St. Ignatius as well as many great thinkers and writers, long gone and present day, each uniquely revealing the way of finding God in all things. And that is my intention; to find God/Divine Presence/Ultimate Reality in whatever presents itself to me each day in 2024.
Each day I read, reflect and write on the selection, hoping to articulate the ways in which I come to know God/Divine Presence/Ultimate Reality via personal experience, impelled by the leading of my inner life.
