On this final Sunday of Lent before we turn towards Holy Week, Christine invites us to use our imaginations to enter into the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. She takes us through four steps: preparing ourselves; asking for grace and guidance from the Holy Spirit; imagining ourselves in the story, and talking with Jesus about what emerged.

God never tells someone they are too needy. He never rebukes or shushes them. God moves towards us in our need. You can do this SIMPLE prayer practice as often as desired.

This is the second of two classes that Joseph taught to new missionaries this summer. Ignatian contemplation, or the imaginative entering into a scene of scripture, is a classic way to pray, and we hope that this helps you!

Imagine the tension in the room as a known sinner walks in and starts weeping at Jesus' feet. She's a mess. Simon, the Pharisee hosting the party, is not pleased. “If this man were a prophet," he says to himself, "he would have known who and what kind of woman this is who is touching him; that she is a sinner.” Watch Jesus. How does he respond to the woman? How does he respond to Simon?

Sitting at his customs post, Levi the tax collector must have gotten some angry glares. After all, tax collectors were despised for collaborating with the Roman authorities and were unwelcome in the Temple or at dinner with upright Jews. But Jesus looked at him in a different way; in a way unlike anyone had ever looked at him before. Imagine this scene unfold as Jesus calls Levi who leaves everything to follow him. As they dine together at Levi's house, the scribes and Pharisees balk and question Jesus' practice of eating and drinking with sinners and tax collectors. Prayerfully watch the tension unfold in your mind. How do you feel in this moment? New to Imagine? Listen to this "Imagine" Explainer: What is Ignatian Contemplation?

When Jesus calls to a group of fishermen at the Sea of Galilee, they leave everything behind to follow him. The story is simple, but powerful. What was it about this man and his invitation that inspired them to go with him?

Join Deacon David Kiblinger, SJ, for our 3rd annual Online Lenten Retreat. For the past two years, we have presented online retreats during Holy Week. This year, we wanted to offer a retreat that would last throughout the Lenten Season. A new talk will be released each Saturday in Lent and two during Holy Week. The retreat begins on March 5th. The theme of this year's retreat is The Vine and the Branches from Chapter 15 of the Gospel of John. Each talk will pull a theme from this discourse between Jesus and his disciples so that we might learn how to follow Jesus more closely. In this preview episode, David offers a few helpful tips to prepare for the retreat: 1 – Read over the passage on the Vine and the Branches in Chapter 15 of the Gospel of John. What stands out to you as you read over this verse? What is Jesus trying to tell you? 2 – Familiarize yourself with Ignatian Contemplation. We'll be engaging in this form of prayer throughout the retreat. If you're not as familiar with this type of prayer, check out this article on Ignatian Contemplation from our Jesuit 101 series. 3 – Make a plan. How much time do you plan to spend in prayer? Can you carve out 20 minutes of silence? Maybe 30 minutes or more? Do you have a space where you can pray with limited distractions? You can choose whatever is most comfortable for you, but it is helpful to make a plan ahead of time so that it becomes part of your routine.

This experience creates a space for the listener to hear and imagine him or herself in a story through contemplative questions. This episode prepares you, the listener, for a guided experience of Ignatian Contemplation with a guided breathing meditation.All music is original and copyrighted by Drew Nelson.

Hello, and welcome to Methods. This is the twelfth episode of our third season: Vision. This passage is from the Gospel of John, chapter four. Imaginative prayer, also known as Ignatian Contemplation is the name given to prayer which helps us enter more fully into the passage of Scripture we are reading, by using our ability to form pictures or inner impressions in our minds. We live in a rational, left brain world where information and analysis is the highest priority. But as humans, our soul is still captivated by experience. Jesus called on people's imagination all the time. He was constantly telling stories and painting word pictures. He asked people to imagine the kingdom of God as a mustard seed, as yeast, as treasure hidden in a field. Through imaginative prayer we step into a gospel story and imagine ourselves to be there in that scene. Rather than reading the Bible abstractly, we enter the story to more deeply experience and encounter Jesus in the scene. In doing so we remain true to the Biblical reading, but more actively experience it. We might be a disciple in the boat with Jesus, one of the crowd at the feeding of the five thousand, or the woman at the well asked by Jesus to draw up water for him. It's important that as you hear the story you try to feel what it's like to actually be inside that story. Listen, taste, smell, feel, and watch what happens. What can you see around you? What are Jesus' facial expressions? What are you feeling?

The Second Week of the Spiritual Exercises is split into two episodes. This second one focuses on how we can stay on the path to God on our journey of faith. The episode begins by outlining the discernment of spirits as a way to be attentive to the different spirits that pull us in one direction or another. Along with sharing lessons from St. Ignatius's story, this episode offers concrete methods to help us respond to the urgings of the good spirit in our lives and resist the movements of the false spirit. Later in the episode, it shifts to friendship, beginning with our friendship with Jesus. An important component of the Second Week is praying over the life of Jesus and asking for the grace to know him more intimately, to love him more devotedly, and to follow him more completely. The technique of Ignatian Contemplation is introduced, which can help when praying with Gospel stories of Jesus. The episode also reflects on the many friends in faith who help inspire us and guide us, including friends of Jesus in the Scriptures, the Communion of Saints, and our own family and friends. Suggested texts: 1 Thessalonians 5:14-22 Psalm 34 Luke 10:29-37 Matthew 6:19-21 Points for Reflection: Reflect on the movements of the good spirit and the false spirit in your own life, and on friendships that help you stay on the path to God. How does the false spirit try to lead you astray in sneaky and subtle ways? Where do you most clearly see the good spirit at work in your life? How are you responding? How are you deepening your friendship with Jesus? Who are the friends in faith that inspire you and helps you stay on the path to God? Reflect on friends of Jesus in the Gospels, your favorite Saints, and friends and family. 3 Methods of Discernment: (1) pros and cons list, (2) imagine giving advice to a friend (3) imagine reflecting back from some time in the future.

Ignatian contemplation has us enter into stories in scripture, using our imagination as part of prayer. Through practice, we see what message God wants us to hear. This passage is read on Palm Sunday—when Jesus prays in the Garden of Gethsemane.

Hello, and welcome to Methods. This is the third episode of our third season: Vision. Today we'll explore ignatian contemplation on a passage from scripture, Exodus chapter three. Imaginative prayer, also known as Ignatian Contemplation is the name given to prayer which helps us enter more fully into the passage of Scripture we are reading, by using our ability to form pictures or inner impressions in our minds. We live in a rational, left brain world where information and analysis is the highest priority. But as humans, our soul is still captivated by experience. Jesus called on people's imagination all the time. He was constantly telling stories and painting word pictures. He asked people to imagine the kingdom of God as a mustard seed, as yeast, as treasure hidden in a field. Through imaginative prayer we step into a gospel story and imagine ourselves to be there in that scene. Rather than reading the Bible abstractly, we enter the story to more deeply experience and encounter Jesus in the scene. In doing so we remain true to the Biblical reading, but more actively experience it. We might be a disciple in the boat with Jesus, one of the crowd at the feeding of the five thousand, or the woman at the well asked by Jesus to draw up water for him. It's important that as you hear the story you try to feel what it's like to actually be inside that story. Listen, taste, smell, feel, and watch what happens.

James Martin is a Jesuit priest and editor at large of America magazine. His books include “The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything,” “Between Heaven and Mirth: Why Joy, Humor and Laughter are at the Heart of the Spiritual Life,” and most recently “Jesus: A Pilgrimage.” This interview is edited and produced with music and other features in the On Being episode “James Martin — Finding God in All Things.” Find more at onbeing.org.

Before Pope Francis, James Martin was perhaps the best-loved Jesuit in American life. He’s followed the calling of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit order, to “find God in all things” — and in 21st-century forms. To delve into Fr. Martin’s way of being in the world is to discover the “spiritual exercises” St. Ignatius designed to be accessible to everyone more than six centuries ago. Also his thoughts on the “un-taming” Christmas.
