to us, this gratitude is already an expression of love.
A dynamic, moment by moment activity shaped by a free,
loving, self-giving God and by grateful, loving human
beings who share the divine freedom.
 an Ignatian spiritual decision-making process, when the
option is not between good and evil but between several
possible courses of action, all of which are potentially
good.
Being the best you personally can be, deepening your own
self-understanding in order to be open to the larger world
and generous in spirit.

make use of the means only in as much as they take me to
the goal I am aiming at. If they take me to goal, I shall use

still, and meditative; there is an interior life that seeks to grow

in order to better hear God’s voice within us
 Not many things, but one deeply
For it is not much knowledge that fills and satisfies the soul,
but the intimate understanding and relish of the truth.
For the Grater Glory of God.
