July 31 is the feast day of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuits. If you were not familiar with the Jesuits before, the election of Pope Francis, who is a Jesuit, may have raised your consciousness about them.
The Society of Jesus, the full name of the Jesuit order, have a long and important history in the Church, but that is not what I am here to share today. As the image above points to, July brings us 31 Days with Saint Ignatius from Loyola Press. You will also notice a link to this in the sidebar of this blog. I hope that you will follow along with the different Ignatian inspired posting for each day.
Today’s post is about the Examen, and I highly recommend it. And while I am a day late, don’t take that as a signal to miss the post that kicked off the series. Andy Otto, of Finding God in All Things, wrote about – well, Five Ways to Find God in All Things! Finding God in all things is a foundational element of Ignatian spirituality.
So join in, follow along, read away, and share as the Spirit moves you! AMDG!

I was going to do a post on the Ignatian 31 day countdown to the Feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola on July 31 but I found out that Fran Rossi Szpylczyn of the outstanding blog “There Will Be Bread” had already done one so rather than duplicate efforts I will borrow from her. I encourage you to check out other posts from her outsanding blog.

Fantastic post. I was going to do something similar but I could not improve on your post so I reblogged it. Keep up the great work!
