The frequency of meetings varies, but usually a person meets with a director at least once a month. The following pages contain some suggestions for prayer which could help you to grow in intimacy with God and to experience Jesuit spirituality. St. Ignatius believed that he received a gift from God that not only enriched his own Christian life but was meant to be shared with others. This way of praying allowed Ignatius to discover the voice of God within his own heart and to experience a growth in familiarity with God's will. Jesuits call this prayer their daily examen of consciousness.
Love consists in a mutual sharing.
No matter where you are, hilltop or valley, country or city, in a crowd or alone, you are a creature in the midst of creation. The Creator who called you forth is concerned for you. The Spirit of God, sent by Christ, will remind you that you are gifted to help bring creation to its fullness, to restore it to the Creator's way. Ask the Holy Spirit to let you look on all you see with love. Love is patient, love is kind, love is not jealous or boastful, it is not arrogant or rude.
