Here are 10 charecteristics of Ignatian Spirituality for us to learn....
1. Union of minds and hearts – as brothers and sisters, we listen for the God who is present among us, admitting no division based on ethnicity, nationality, background, age or gender.

2. Flexibility and adaptability – (e.g.,16th Century Jesuits wearing Chinese robes and generally adapting to various cultures; respecting people’s lived experience.)

3. Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam (For the greater glory of God) – praising God and dedicating oneself to participate in God’s healing work in the world.

4. “The World is charged with the grandeur of God” – the positive, energetic and engaged vision of God’s constant interaction with creation.

5. Faith that does justice – the realization that there can be no true expression of faith where concerns for justice and human dignity are missing.

6.  Inner Freedom (the result of self-awareness and discernment.)

7. Contemplation in action – not a monastic existence, but an active one that is, at the same time, infused with prayer.

8. Reflection (Self-awareness/Discernment) leading to Gratitude which leads to Service (linked to becoming a “man or woman for others” – big Ignatian buzzwords.)

9. Personal relationship with Christ and love for the Church (bruised and broken as it often is.)

10. Finding God in all things
