Abstract
Finding God in All Things is a retreat inspired by the life and insight of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Offered in four sessions, this retreat connects key moments in the spiritual journey of St. Ignatius with poignant junctures of crisis, transition, discernment, and commitment in students’ lives. For example, students are invited to examine a “Cannonball Experience,” or when they were invited to “Give up the Sword,” or when they had a “Cardoner Moment” or when they “Hit the Brick Wall.” Often they discover the delight in becoming a “pilgrim learner” along the way, just as Ignatius did when he renewed his vocation as a student and engaged his language studies. In looking at the key moments in their own spiritual journeys, students are invited to learn how to find God in all these sacred “moments,” and to commit themselves to God’s will.
