News and Other Stories from OIS
Coming to you from the Ignatian Family Teach-in for Justice, this mini-reunion of Regional Coordinators of the Contemplative Leaders in Action program focuses on how Ignatian Spirituality helps us press on. We explore the importance of noticing and savoring in Ignatian Spirituality, and muse on the ways that young adults today have a profound window into these dimensions of Ignatian spiritual practice. The conversation covers topics such as Ignatian spirituality and our professional lives, the opportunities that digital culture offers to engage in noticing and savoring, and heroes in faith and justice.
Special thanks to our guests: Beth Brin, University Minister for Formation and Outreach, Regis University and Roxanne de la Torre, Pastoral Associate, Father William J. Bergen SJ Office of Ignatian Spirituality and Faith Formation, Church of St. Ignatius Loyola.
In this "Fordhamtastic" episode, we bring together staff and students who are engaged in Ignatian retreat ministry: Stephanie Roddy, Director of Spiritual Retreat Ministries, Fordham University; Laura Oldfather, Catholic Life Assistant, Fordham University; Kaitlyn Squyres, Fordham University. Roddy, Laura, and Kaitlyn share about how Ignatian Spirituality helps them find God on and off-campus, amidst work as a coach, on the subway commute, and even in academic studies and research. They share tidbits on how to discern so that we know that God is present in these aspects of life. They also talk about how Ignatius is relatable to them as young adults. We land on a slogan of a Fordham favorite pizza joint: love is it, and God's love can lead someone to give up watching hockey, and to grow in authentic love of God, neighbor, and self. Listen now.
