This, at its core, is the essence of Ignatian spirituality: to find God in all things. It is the daily practice of recognizing God's presence saturating our reality—in every encounter, every challenge, every joy. Such awareness awakens us to a deeper truth: no human can take the place of God. As no student is above the teacher, no disciple stands above the Master. Our highest aspiration is not self-promotion or worldly acclaim, but radical transformation—a lifelong journey of becoming more like Christ.
This demands genuine interior freedom. It calls us to loosen our grip on anything that hinders our surrender to God's will. Through ongoing discernment, we attend to the "motions of our soul"—our desires, thoughts, and emotions—aligning them with what leads us deeper into God’s love. We seek the magis, the “more,” in every choice.
We are not to be afraid. Faithful discipleship may attract misunderstanding—even rejection—but it also draws us closer to the One who was rejected before us. We are called to be contemplatives in action, grounded in grace and alive in the world, recognizing God’s presence even in the mundane, the difficult, and the thankless.
And we are not without hope. "Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known." Truth will rise. What we hear whispered in the intimacy of prayer, through the Examen and quiet reflection, we are called to proclaim boldly—to be authentic witnesses. To live our faith with courage, trusting that lives shaped by praise and purpose will radiate the light of God's glory into the world.
