Ignatian Spirituality

A popular spirituality within the Catholic Church is Ignatian Spirituality, based on the teachings of St. Ignatius of Loyola, whose feast day is July 31. coming up. Father Thaddaeus Lancton, MIC, explains the benefits of the “Spiritual Exercises,” recognizing the Spirit that is poured into our hearts through faith in Jesus Christ, impels us forward, and never leaves us idle or alone. Then hear the story of Don O'Mara, who, through a Cursillo retreat, examined his conscience and, like St. Ignatius, converted from a life of despair and sin to one of promise and hope.

Watch Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, and the Marian Fathers and Brothers from the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy on our weekly show, "Living Divine Mercy," airing on EWTN every Wednesday at 6:30 pm EST, with an encore presentation on Mondays at 9:00 am EST.  Through teaching segments, Bible and St. Faustina Diary excerpts, as well as real-life examples of people who are living Divine Mercy in their lives, you will learn why Jesus said Divine Mercy is mankind's last hope of salvation!
