Contemplating Creation is a significant way to open our hearts to God’s revelation of love. Through letting your exterior senses and imagination become absorbed in something in Creation, you create the interior space to be attentive to God’s presence.
St. Ignatius had a deep reverence for Mary, the Mother of God. The image above of Our Lady of the Way currently resides in the Gesu in Rome. It was originally in a little church that stood where the Gesu is now. This church Santa Maria Della Strada (St. Mary of the Way) was given to St. Ignatius by Pope Paul III in 1540 upon the founding of the Society of Jesus. Jesuits around the world celebrate her feast day on May 24.
