Welcome to the Ignatian Spirituality Partnership of Maine!
FINDING GOD IN ALL THINGS
Ignatian spirituality is grounded in the conviction that God is active in our world. "God is not remote from us. God is at the point of my pen, my pick, my paintbrush, my needle — and my heart and my thoughts," Pierre Teilhard de Chardin wrote. The spiritual path laid out by St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) is a way of discerning God's presence in our everyday lives and doing something about it.
