Another way of putting it is to say that there are no coincidences, only God-incidences. Among these God-incidences, one of the most remarkable is the story of St. Ignatius Loyola. For the world would be very different indeed if a cannonball had not struck him at the Battle of Pamplona in 1521, shattering his leg and confining him to bed for the next 6 months. During his convalescence, the young Spaniard had ample time to reflect about the meaning of his life, about time and eternity, and, above all, about God. And more than his leg was healed. By the time he recovered he had decided to live no longer for himself, but for God, and the echoes of his choice appear in the motto forever associated with his name: \u201cFor the Greater Glory of God.\u201d In this Retreat Guide we\u2019ll explore what those words meant for his life, and what they can mean for ours.<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>In the <strong>First Meditation<\/strong> we\u2019ll reflect on St. Ignatius as a pilgrim seeking the greater glory of God and draw out several virtues necessary for our own pilgrimage through life.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>In the <strong>Second Meditation<\/strong> we\u2019ll look at how St. John the Baptist, a kindred spirit of St. Ignatius, taught his followers to seek the greater glory of God.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>And finally, the <strong>Conference<\/strong> will delve into the examen prayer, a practical tool St. Ignatius warmly recommended in order to see God\u2019s action in our lives, and respond with faith, with hope, and with love.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>The Personal Questionnaire\/Group discussion questions are available in the Companion Guide Book or Small Group Companion Guide or for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1985792079\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1985792079&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=rcspiritualit-20&amp;linkId=d1b49c59e2420333abdb148ab243a4ad\">purchase via Amazon<\/a>.
