Ignatius House

The Contemplatio

Religion EN ↓ 262 episodes

Each Wednesday, pray with scripture, contemporary Christian voices, and a reflection by the Jesuits and spiritual directors from Ignatius House Jesuit Retreat Center in Atlanta. We’ll breathe life into God's Word, drawing from the Ignatian tradition of contemplative prayer, which is simply “a long, loving look at the real.” You’ll discover that “real” to be God breaking into our reality, gazing upon us with love. Scripture selections reflect timely themes or liturgical seasons with a prayer format that is distinctly Ignatian. Get the email version: bit.ly/thecontemplatio
