Spirituality: Tomas Halik, on Pope Francis
Ignatian Spirituality
by John Predmore, S.J.
1d ago
Pope Francis is the great prophet of our time, on of the greatest popes in Church history. No one is doing more to build bridges between cultures than Pope Francis. His encyclical "Fratelli Tutti" could play a role in the twenty-first century similar to that played by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in the twentieth century. His call for synodal renewal of the Church can mean much more than the transformation of the Chursch from a rigid clerical bureaucratic organization into a flexible network of mutual communication. Synodality is a common journey; it is meant to renew, revive, and ..read more

Poem: “How Do I Love Thee?” by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Ignatian Spirituality
by John Predmore, S.J.
2d ago
 How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of every day’s Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with a passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints, – I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life, – and, if God choose, I shall but lo ..read more

Poem: Rumi, Odes - One Whisper of the Beloved
Ignatian Spirituality
by John Predmore, S.J.
3d ago
Lovers share a sacred decree - to seek the Beloved. They roll head over heels, rushing toward the Beautiful One like a torrent of water. In truth, everyone is a shadow of the Beloved - Our seeking is His seeking, Our words are His words. At times we flow toward the Beloved like a dancing stream. At times we are still water held in His pitcher. At times we boil in a pot turning to vapor - that is the job of the Beloved. He breathes into my ear until my soul takes on His fragrance. He is the soul of my soul - How can I escape? But why would any soul in this world want to escape from the Belov ..read more
