Faculty In-Service, 2013 Ignatian Training Patient Trust in Ourselves and the Slow Work of God Middle • Above all, trust in the slow work of God. Left • We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay. We would like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new. Right • And yet, it is the law of all progress that it is made by passing through some stages of instability – and that it may take a very long time. Middle • And so I think it is with you; your ideas mature gradually – let them grow, let them shape themselves, without undue haste. Right • Don’t try to force them on, as though you could be today what time, (that is to say, grace and circumstances acting on your own good will) will make of you tomorrow. Left • Only God could say what this new spirit gradually forming in you will be. ALL • Give our Lord the benefit of believing that his hand is leading you, and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself in suspense and incomplete. Teilhard de Chardin, S.J. 1881 - 1955

Faculty In-Service, 2013 Ignatian Training Interlocking Elements of Ignatian Spirituality. • Jesus. He is the center of our lives. The One who leads. The One who calls us to serve others. • Vision. We try to grasp the big picture: the reign of God is breaking into our world. • Exercising. We do things – not for others but with them. We do them with Jesus. • Reflecting. We observe where God is at work and where he is absent. • Valuing. We clarify the values present in a situation and ask Jesus to shape them. • Choosing. We reflect on the possible courses of action and choose what seems better. • Discerning. We listen to the language of our hearts. • More. We strive to do the better thing out of love for God. • Laboring. We collaborate with Christ in the Work of redeeming and healing the world. • Thanking. All is gift. Thanksgiving permeates our lives. Fleming, What is Ignatian Spirituality? pages 98 - 99

Faculty In-Service, 2013 Ignatian Training HOW MANY TIMES? Lord, • How many times have I sat here and realized how blessed I am, and how many times have I gone back to being the same person that I was before? • How many times have I stood in awe before the beauty of your creation and then turned around and defaced it? • How many times have I seen your immense love for me, and how many times have I rejected that love? • As many times as you have forgiven me in your infinite compassion, O Lord A Jesuit High Student, Sacramento
