We will be using the Ignatian Meditation Guides developed by Bill Gaultiere as a resource to frame our time together.

Ignatius’ method of imagining yourself in a Gospel passage is a helpful contrast to Bible study. To carefully think about and analyze Scripture in its context is an important discipline, and to prayerfully meditate on Scripture is a different and equally helpful discipline. Ignatius guides us to read a Gospel story with our senses in order to see, hear, and touch—even to taste and smell if we can—what’s happening in the text. To help us he suggests that we identify with a character in the story or a bystander to feel and experience the action.
