“En Camino con Ignacio:” OIS’s Hispanic Ministry Hosts Spiritual Conversation Group During the Ignatian Year
by Zandra Schiemann
The Office of Ignatian Spirituality’s Hispanic Ministry has gathered 15 lay people and Jesuits, a handful of members and coordinators of OIS’s Comunidades Hispanas Ignacianas, and others engaged in Ignatian ministry in Spanish around the country for faith sharing and spiritual conversation based on the book “Walking with Ignatius,” by Jesuit Father General Arturo Sosa.
Each month, the group reads a chapter as the basis for their sharing, and the meetings begin with the “prayer points” and “tips for spiritual conversation” offered at the end of each chapter in the book.
The book is an interview with Fr. Sosa conducted by the Spanish journalist Darío Menor, and was published for the Ignatian Year, commemorating the 500th anniversary of St. Ignatius Loyola being wounded in battle in Pamplona. Fr. Sosa shares his reflections on the world today, the Catholic Church, and the future of the Society of Jesus.
