Why classic spirituality? Why Ignatian spirituality?

Fr. Gallagher: Not many decades ago, the use of classic method in prayer appeared con ning: such constraints once removed, a person would be truly free to pray in the Spirit. Uninstructed “freedom,” however, has proven inadequate, and today we witness renewed interest in classic teaching about prayer— classic, because such teaching answers the perennial questions: How do I begin to pray? Which approach is best suited for me? How may I understand my experience at prayer? My struggles in prayer?  e artist taught by a skilled master is truly free to create beauty; the spiritual person, taught by a skilled master, is truly free to pray. Among these masters, St. excels in o ering wise,  exible, and e ective teaching about prayer.

POPE FRANCIS Jorge Mario Bergoglio Open Mind, Faithful Heart Re ections on Following Jesus

Introduction by Gustavo Larrazábal CFM Prologue by José María Arancedo Archbishop of Santa Fe de la Vera Cruz This book is not just for reading. It is a path for prayer and a guide for life. Pope Francis connects with people, especially the young, the forgotten, and the forlorn. The cameras show him in Rome, in Brazil, in Lampedusa reaching out to the crowds, hold- ing infants, embracing the disabled.

POPES AND THE PAPACY THE AND What is the source of his energy, and his spiritual vitality? This book is perhaps the best introduction to what makes the Pope the engaging pastor he is. During his years as archbishop of Buenos Aires, Jorge Bergoglio often spoke to those collaborating with him in pastoral ministry.

FROM THE BOOK We must encounter our faith, the faith of our fathers and mothers, which is liberating in itself, without any added quality or quali cation.  is is the faith that makes us just before the Father who created us, before the Son who redeemed us and called us to follow him, and before the Spirit who works directly in our hearts. In the moment of making concrete decisions, this faith will lead us, through the Spirit’s anointing, to a clear knowledge of the limits of our own role; it will make us wise and intelligent in choosing the means we use; in the end, it will lead us to evangelical e ectiveness that is far removed from both emotional ineptitude and easy-going indi erence. Our faith is revolutionary; it is a foundation unto itself. —Open Mind, Faithful Heart; “Chapter 5: Our Faith”
