Imagine: A Guide to Jesuit Prayer
Ignatian contemplation is a method of prayer in which you use your imagination to see and interact with scenes from Scripture. This new podcast will guide you through contemplative exercises in the tradition of St. Ignatius of Loyola's Spiritual Exercises. New episodes will be available every Friday during Lent and every day from Holy Thursday through Easter Sunday. You can find "Imagine" in "The Word" podcast feed.
Examen with Fr. James Martin, S.J.
The examen is a centuries-old prayer practice that helps you find God in your daily life. Our podcast is based on a technique that St. Ignatius outlined in the Spiritual Exercises, his classic manual for prayer. Each week Father Martin will provide you with a new reflection and guide you through the examen prayer. Subscribe today to start praying the examen each and every day.
