The life’s work of St. Ignatius of Loyola serves as a good foundation for this workshop. St. Ignatius engaged in Holy Listening to bring the Word of God to the common people. In this workshop the facilitators will use teachings, activities, and reflection to guide participants in connecting with their own individual experiences of Holy Listening. Participants will learn how to practice this gift for both the challenges and successes of their lives.

The story of Ruth demonstrates how God is present in our lives during times of grief, difficulties, and personal losses, as well as amazing times of joy and peace.
