Spirituality
"Nothing is more practical than finding God; that is, falling in love in a quite absolute , final way.
What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you spend you weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love; stay in love and it will decide everything.
Father Pedro Arrupe, S.J.
Spirituality is a word that lacks a clear definition. Simple put though it is a way of living and approaching life. There are many forms of spirituality. For Christians, spirituality is defined as living in companionship with the Spirit of God. As with the development of Christianity, so have different forms of spirituality. Each form is grounded in a specific understanding of God and God's relationship with the world and the human person in that world. It is in this understanding that "a way of living and acting" evolved.
Spirituality is not just a collection of ideals and practices. Spirituality shows an interrelatedness of the ideals and practices flowing and offering meaning to viewing the world.
Each spirituality evolved from a specific historical, cultural or religious tradition. Manresa Way's focus is on Ignatian Spirituality based on the experiences and teachings of St Ignatius of Loyola
