Feast of Saint Ignatius
Today we celebrate the feast day of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Happy Feast Day to all my Jesuit brethren and to all religious communities founded in the spirit of Saint Ignatius. Here are a couple ways to celebrate the Feast Day.
1. Read a biography of Saint Ignatius via Loyola Press.
2. Learn more about a daily form of prayer developed by Saint Ignatius.
- Saint Ignatius of Loyola developed a simple method by which you can review each day in a way that will help you grow in self-understanding and free you to follow God’s will. This practice is often called the Daily Examen. Learn more about the Daily Examen.
This is one of my favorite images of Saint Ignatius at the Jesuit retreat house in Guelph, Ontario.

Julie, What a wonderful connection to a past practice that needs rejuvenation for today’s fast-paced world. The Daily Examen is a timely reminder about a great tradition held in the Church and in many of our own religious congregations. Though I do reflect on my day upon retiring, I like the various steps that will help focus the examen time for me.
Thank you… and by the way God Speed, and you, too, at the Triathlon on Sunday.
I have been to Guelph a couple of times and hope to return. That statue accompanies us on retreat there. It so captures the man, on the run, grasping for some cover from the wind, ever straining forward, hand clasping a letter (as I recall), gaunt, intelligent, on fire.
God bless all those in the Company of Jesus!
