Ignatian Leadership for Mission Retreats
Ignatian Leadership for Mission
The Jesuit Collaborative sponsors retreats for Jesuits and lay women and men in the Maryland, New York and New England Provinces focusing on the graces of: gratitude; healing; call; and co-laboring. ILM retreats are held throughout the East Coast. The retreat format combines presentation, silent prayer and reflection, and group faith-sharing. The next retreat will be June 20-23, 2013 at the Jesuit Center in Wernersville, PA. Cost for this retreat is $375
Gratitude
To understand and to rejoice gratefully in who we are and who we are called to become – by God’s gracious and loving desire and design.
Healing
Grateful joy in the realization of God’s unfailingly steadfast and forgiving love – revealed in Christ crucified, before whom Ignatius asks, “What have I done? What am I doing? What shall I do?”
Call
The enthusiastic desire and determination to join God and Christ in overcoming the powers of darkness – so that the light of truth and love, justice and peace might shine in our world.
Co-laboring
To live and labor lovingly as the hands and feet, heads and hearts, of the risen Lord living and laboring in us, his Ignatian companions, Lay and Jesuit, on mission together.
As we look at our society today, we find
ourselves facing unique opportunities,
calling for new styles of leadership. Our
Ignatian spirituality ideally suits us to
respond to the challenges we face as
Jesuit and Lay Colleagues.
"This was one of the most spiritually
uplifting retreats I have had. I sure
wish I could bottle the experience."
