Second Sunday Supper Recap (9/12)

St. Ignatius of Loyola

A good sized group of YAGS gathered on a Sunday night for some good company and good food. When the eating was over, we switched into a mode of talking about St. Ignatius of Loyola. I spoke of Ignatius' early life and what led to his conversion. St. Ignatius realized, while he was convalescing from a battle wound, that vanity and riches would not lead to happiness, but that fighting for God would.

After a discussion of St. Ignatius' discernment process, we went on to speak of the way we personally discern how to live our lives. St. Ignatius taught that when you find God's will for your life you will be full of spiritual joy, while when you are not on God's path you will be full of distress. A good number of us YAGS agreed with this statement. It's always good to reexamine your decision making process and to ensure that you are seeking God in the decisions you make.

Stay tuned for next months Second Sunday Supper with Danny Richter as our speaker. We will be in for a treat!
