Ignatian prayer

Ignatian prayer, developed by Saint Ignatius of Loyola, is a reflective approach that encourages imagining oneself within Scripture or spiritual scenes to deepen understanding and connection with God. It often involves contemplating Jesus’ life, seeking personal insight, and discerning God's presence in everyday life. The practice fosters mindfulness, self-awareness, and spiritual growth by engaging the imagination and feelings, helping individuals find meaning and guidance through prayerful reflection. It is adaptable, guiding people to encounter God personally and meaningfully in their daily circumstances.
