After his mid-life conversion and transformation, Saint Ignatius was graced with a life of mystical intimacy with the Holy Trinity. His gift to all of who follow in his path is a step-by-step guide to mystical union with our loving God. This weekend retreat will focus on Ignatius’ mystical graces about the Trinity, Creation, the Humanity of Jesus, and the Eucharist. We will use the wisdom of An Ignatian Pathway: Experiencing the Mystical Dimension of the Spiritual Exercises by Paul Coutinho, SJ as well as readings from Ignatius’ autobiography, spiritual journal, and the Spiritual Exercises. Cost is $150, includes room and board. Register here.
