January 14th
- April 8th, 2011
A somewhat more relaxing and meditative sabbatical
than our autumn programme. The centre of the programme is the
experience of the full 30 day individually guided Spiritual
Exercises of Ignatius, held in silence.
School of Prayer
There are two weeks lead-in to the Exercises. After a time of
introduction to the programme, we begin a very practical few
days of working through different methods and helps to prayer.
Even for those who are experienced in prayer God has a way of
surprising with something new. Further

Personality Shadow and
Prayer
Our next week Anne Morris leads us in a consideration of our
own personalities using the Myers-Briggs personality types as
foundation. This course moves deeper than the basic identification
of personality types to see how personality can help in prayer
and relationships. Further
Details
Full Spiritual Exercises
We move through the Spiritual Exercises in its full 30-day form.
After the Exercises there is a little time to reflect and gather
fruit. Further Details
The Dynamic of the Exercises
We consider the Spiritual Exercises, Ignatian Spirituality and
discernment.
The Natural World - God in all things
Two days of exploration of our relationship to the natural world
led by Mary Colwell. Further

Spirituality and Social Justice
A Seminar led by Fr Peter McVerry, who is well known in Ireland
for his willingness to speak out on radio, television and in
the newspapers about social justice issues; he runs homes for
young people. Over three days he will focus on issues of Social
Justice and how they link with Christian Spirituality.

Go out to the whole world
Finally we look at how to take Ignatian Spirituality to parishes
through weeks of guided prayer and a consideration of the 19th
annotation retreat in daily life.
The group experience of the three-month course is always most
enriching. This year this 3M group will be joined by others
taking up sections of the programme.
