LTMTP 2021 The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola in Daily Life
- The Saint James Church “Ignatian Spirituality Community” is offering the opportunity to improve our prayer life.
- Knowing that many people cannot find time for an extended retreat away from their ordinary lives, we at the Saint James Ignatian Spirituality Community offer the following.
- A process that invites people to a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ through different types of prayer and a weekly faith-sharing session. The goal is to prepare the individual to study the 19th Annotation by St. Ignatius of Loyola.
- The study class forming in September will be meeting every Monday night at 6:00 pm for 70 minutes. Each week will be a specific prayer style and a scripture topic, followed by faith-sharing. Note: Our sessions are to develop the MAGIS (MORE). You may attend as many or as few as you’d like. This weekly time is called “Ultreya” (ul-tray a) meaning further – beyond and “Let’s go!” The Ultreya tells us of the energetic intention to go with courage toward some “beyond”, to exceed something. By crying “Ultreya!” the pilgrim says “Let’s keep going! Let’s go some more, let’s go beyond!” Yes, for the Greater Glory of God.
