Ignatian Formation/Outreach Event Saturday October 11th.
Half-day of reflection based on the Ignatian tradition of the Spiritual exercises
You are warmly invited to a half-day Ignatian reflection facilitated by Frances Tilly - from Jesuit and Ignatian Spirituality Australia (JISA) Sydney.
The theme of the morning will be: How does God call me by my name, how will I respond?
“I heard my Father call my name, and how could I not respond?” Luke 2:41-52
Jesus ‘lost’ in the temple, aged twelve, replies with these words to his parents who are beside themselves with worry.
We will have a spacious, contemplative and hospitable few hours, with different ways to taste and share experience of the spiritual exercises and discernment.
Ignatius develops these through his own life experience, seeking his authentic self and purpose, through intimate relationship, companionship - always desiring greater freedom, and living with many creative tensions.
A mysticism of practical service in the world, a love offering for the God he came to know.
We hope this time will be an opportunity for you to enjoy these gifts of Ignatius, to reflect in gratitude and wonder for all has led you to this point, and deepen the discernment of your calling, to respond with ever greater freedom as yourself, in your service.
Note: Morning tea will be provided, but please bring your own lunch – if you can stay for a short time of social interaction after the conclusion of the session.
A small donation would be appreciated but NOT Obligatory. The event is sponsored by ISWA/FSE ministry team in WA
