Project Ignite- Exercise #1An Ignatian Approach to Faith in Action BEING CONTEPLATIVES IN ACTION
Prayer for Generosity Lord Jesus, teach me to be generous, teach me to serve you as you deserve, to give and not to count the cost, to fight and not to heed the wounds, to toil and not to seek for rest, to labour and not to seek reward except that of knowing that I do your will.
The Holy TrinityContemplating the World Looking upon our world: God saw men and women being born and being laid to rest, some getting married and others getting divorced, the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the happy and the sad, so many people aimless, despairing, hateful, and killing, so many undernourished, sick, and dying, so many struggling with life and blind to any meaning. With God, I can hear people laughing and crying, some shouting and screaming, some praying, others cursing. [from the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius of Loyola]
See!!! • The situation • The reality • The HUMAN CONDITION • QUESTION – What does this MOVE you to do?
To Transform this World you need to Ask Yourself: • WHAT HAVE I DONE FOR CHRIST • WHAT AM I DOING FOR CHRIST • WHAT OUGHT TO BE DONE FOR CHRIST
If they did it, Why Cant I do it?THE IGNATIAN INVITATION • St Dominics • St Francis • Our Lord Himself– Moved with compassion to Act, Even to lay down his life
