Comments on: James Martin, SJ, on the broader Jesuit family http://anunslife.org/2008/06/03/james-martin-broader-jesuit-family/ Catholic Sisters and Nuns in Today's World Thu, 24 May 2012 22:10:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Sister Julie http://anunslife.org/2008/06/03/james-martin-broader-jesuit-family/#comment-4415 Sister Julie Wed, 04 Jun 2008 20:53:17 +0000 http://anunslife.org/?p=507#comment-4415 Thank you for being part of this, Augustine. The Exercises and Ignatius's Rules for Discernment have certainly been helpful to me. I'm always amazed at how folks who aren't Catholic find a wealth of inspiration and guidance in Ignatian spirituality as we do. Ignatian spirituality certainly can cross all sorts of boundaries.

We don't need to go no further than St. Faustina as someone who lived in such an institute. And, of course, St. Ignatius' Spiritual Exercises are a fountain of graces to many lay people. I heard of one confraternity of priests whose mission is precisely giving retreats for people to practice his spiritual exercises. Thanks for your answer, Fr. Martin. May God bless you and keep you always. Indeed, Ignatian spirituality has been found by many religious institutes of women as fitting to them.
