The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Weekly and Monthly

---

The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius are a core offering at Francis House.  The Exercises deepen your capacity for prayer and intimacy with God, free you from attachments, clarify your purpose and teach discernment of spirits, the art of finding God in all things. 

They provide a structure for your prayer, committing to 30 – 60 minutes of prayer daily.

If your soul needs light and peace and hope, this program is for you. The time commitment is well worth it and to make it easier for you we are offering it both in the afternoon and the evening. You can swap back and forth if needed. Pope Francis was a Jesuit from the core of his being and his writings give witness to a depth of understanding of world issues and Ignatian Spirituality for today. This is honestly a terrific treatment of the Spiritual Exercises for today's times as well as a good summary of Francis' teaching during his 12 years as our pope. We will use First Belong to God by Austen Ivereigh. Led by S. Kathy Burton. Donation: $200
