Then the wolf shall be a guest of the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; the calf and the young lion shall browse together, with a little child to guide them. Isaiah 11:6Several years ago, I did the Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Life at Gonzaga University (SEEL). It proved to be one of the most valuable things I ever did. It gave me direction in my prayer life and it taught me how to pray with Scripture.
This program gives everyone a chance to benefit from the Ignatian Exercises without having to set aside 30 days in our busy lives. Creighton University has the entire program on-line, brilliantly arranged, for us “everyday folks” to use. They have even included a “sharing” place for reflections.
Take a moment now and check out this wonderful resource. And then, take 15 to 30 minutes a day to enrich your life.

I love the photo - this idea is going to be the basis of one of my distorted Christmas stories... I tell the cats the same story every year.
That is one comfortable kitty.
The portion of Isaiah that you are citing was incorporated into a Christmas piece we sing at Church called And a Little Child Shall Lead Them.

I did an ignatian retreat in daily life about 6 years ago. It was one of the best things I ever did.
I have tagged you for a meme. See my blog for details.

You should totally send a Christmas card to the Pope. He would love it.
over my adult lifetime, I have used Ignatian Spiritual Exercises material a number of times, in particular on retreats [as a participant] and at times as a presenter when talking, in particular about your previous posts, on discernment. You are right on. Keep the ball a-rollin'!
Thanks, Adrienne, for the link to Creighton's Ignation Retreat online.
I'll check that out for sure.
I've sent you the "Spread the Love Award". See my 1-18 post for for information.
