Reflections after an Ignatian retreat

Schola Affectus writes in his blog: Enjoying the experience of directing a long retreat,  30-days of silence, following the Spiritual Exercises, in North Wales. I am with six other ‘youngish’ Jesuits of my generation, so as well as accompanying people through the four weeks it is great to discuss the dynamics with them (whilst respecting the confidentiality).

Below is a contemporary translation by David Fleming -

The Goal of our life is to live with God forever.
God, who loves us, gave us life.

Presented to us so that we can know God more easily
and make a return of love more readily....
