Intro to the Spiritual Exercises in Daily Life
October 2, 2023

This year, the Office of Ignatian Spirituality is collaborating with the Casa Kino Ignatian Spirituality Center to offer a new virtual program in Spanish that introduces participants to the Spiritual Exercises in daily life.
Each week, the group, consisting of various members of our communities, will meet online and be guided by Father Jorge Ochoa, SJ, who will present that week’s instructions for the Exercises. The session includes reflection, prayer and sharing. Each participant is paired with a companion on the journey and the two will meet virtually for an individual session later in the week.
“I just wanted to share how good I felt on my first day of doing the exercises. I was shocked after I finished praying and realized I lasted over an hour! I didn’t think I would be able to last so long praying. The experience and connection I felt with God was very beautiful. I even feel more encouraged and joyful today.”
The program runs through the end of February 2024. For more information, please contact Zandra Schiemann at zschiemann@jesuits.org.
