Ignatian spirituality

is the way Ignatius and his followers understood and lived out their relationship to God, themselves, the Church, the world, and other people.

For Ignatius the world is not something evil to be fled and shunned; rather, everything in creation is a means to help people praise, reverence, and serve God. Ignatian spirituality is world affirming.

We are encouraged to find God in all things. The world is where the struggle between the "Two Standards" occurs. Found in this struggle is the Ignatian concern for the faith that does justice and the question, "How ought we to live?".
