I am making this a spot for pdf’s and things to download… starting with the awesome rework of an adaptation of The Spiritual Exercises by St Ignatius that Teresa worked up for the St John’s ladies 2017 retreat.
I was asked to speak with a group about Ignatius’ principle of Indifference or Detachment… here are the notes I made for that: Ignatian Indifference. (July 19, 2018)
A Week of Spiritual Exercises (July 30, 2017): A Week of Spiritual Exercise Mon to Sun
An exercise of creating your own daily prayer: Creating a Daily Prayer
Teresa’s rework of an Spiritual Exercise Adaptation for St Johns Ladies Retreat 2017
Also, this is where I will post some coloring sheets for Lent! I have made some simple and non-violent coloring sheets based on the Scriptural Stations of the Cross. Of course, the Passion of our Christ was a violent event, and a terrible thing to endure. What I hoped to do was to create an exercise to help us access the meaning of the Passion, but without a gratuitous amount of blood and gore. The violence was not the meaning of what Christ endured, but it was the love and faith that drove him to give all he could for us and our spiritual wholeness.
