I have a keen interest in Ignatian spirituality, and one of the key features of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius is beginning each prayer period by asking for a particular grace. He encourages us to reflect on the deep longings and desires within, and then ask for those desires to be granted. There is power in naming what we want. Sometimes we are unable to receive something until we can name it.
In each weekly email, I suggest a particular grace to pray with based on the Sunday scriptures and liturgical seasons. If you are not yet subscribed, sign up today!
