From the Commission of the Ignatian Year of the Province of Spain we would like to offer the material for the retreats, "Accompanying Saint Ignatius", designed for Jesuits and collaborators of the Ignatian family in each Apostolic Platform or city.

Father General invites us to "allow the Lord to work our conversion inspired by the personal experience of Ignatius", and, as a help, we propose that each community, locality or platform can offer these retreats throughout the year to interiorize what we celebrate: "Seeing all things new in Christ".

The materials are divided into three scenarios, according to the steps of Ignatius in his conversion. These scenarios will be our composition of place to then bring to our reality the experience in which we want to accompany Ignatius:

o Pamplona: The cannon shot in battle: The route of truncated desires, the cannon shots of life, and the return to the family home. The stretcher bearers and those who help us to heal... (This could be in June 2021 or at the beginning of the 21-22 course).

o Loyola: The paths of conversion, physical weakness and the places of encounter with God, the rediscovery of God, the path of trusting in God... (Between October 2021 and March 2022).

o Manresa: The experience of discernment: the spiritual crisis, discernment in the Spiritual Exercises and openness to enlightenment: the world and companions, the rediscovery of the mission... (From March to July 2022).

This proposal, which includes prayer sheets, guides for spiritual conversation in groups and scripts for the Eucharist, will be adapted to the reality and possibilities of each platform, especially in these times of health uncertainty. For this reason, the materials form an open and flexible proposal so that each platform can be adapted to each community, work or institution and reach as many people as possible. It can be face-to-face or virtual, depending on the circumstances of each place. The most important thing will be to accompany Ignatius in order to focus more on Jesus. Christ is the centre of our conversion.

For the same flexibility we offer the materials of the first retreat (Pamplona) in word format (in case you want to modify or adjust them to the PA) or the same in PDF, or already formatted, if you are going to use them as they are. You can download them in the folder below.
