I read this homily with interest as I am a graduate from St. Ignatius here in Chicago and have always been interested in Ignatian Spirituality...as a matter of fact, the first Theology on Tap speaker we had was Fr. Pat McGrath who spoke about Ignatian Spirituality....so good job!

St. Ignatius spent his convalescing time reading about Christ and then wrote about Christ. As I read that, I thought that I might have liked living in that old time. Now, we can spend all of our free time watching garbage on TV or surfing the internet. In case you are wondering, I have decided to replace some of that garbage time by reading your and commenting on your homilies. We'll see how long that lasts.
I read in wikipedia "When lay people have undergone the Exercises, this is usually under the guidance of a spiritual director who is a member of the religious order of Jesuits. In contemporary experience, more and more lay people and non-Catholics are becoming both retreatants and directors of the Exercises." Is this something that would benefit those of us lay people at St. Raphael? Is there a book in the parish library that would show me what this is about?
