500 years ago St Ignatius of Loyola, a wilful and warlike young man, met God when a cannonball ended his military career. During his long and painful convalescence God met him and he met God in an entirely new way. Ignatius learned to listen to God through reflecting on his feelings and experiences and taught others to do the same.
St Mary Magdalene, Richmond is running 5 sessions in which we will learn the different sorts of prayer Ignatius used, so that we, like him, can deepen and grow our relationship with God. God always meets us where we are, so this group is for everyone – no previous experience necessary! There will be time for prayer and silence and if you want to, sharing our experience of prayer. Everything shared in the group is absolutely confidential.
We will meet in St Mary Magdalene in the All Souls Chapel at 3pm to 4pm on Tuesdays 27th September, 11th and 25th October, 8th and 22nd November. The group will be run by a trained Prayer Guide in the Ignatian tradition. Please contact Richmond Team Ministry admin@richmondteamministry.org if you would like to come. Everyone is welcome.
