| Summary: | The spirituality of Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556) is a fully embodied one, representing an ideal of contemplation-in-action that keeps emphasizing the urgency of finding God in all things. However, living up to such a high ideal - the constant discovery of eternity as the very foundation of time (experiencing it continuously in our finiteness) - is a formidable and unending challenge. It amounts to nothing less than becoming completely united to God through Christ in the Holy Spirit. This brief essay outlines the spiritual journey of its author as a Jesuit, from his birth in Montreal (Canada) to the foundation of a new community, specializing in Buddhist-Christian encounter and practicing organic farming in the foothills of the Korean Alps. |
