Sacramental Life Fr. Russ
It was a good retreat for me the other
week. The retreat centered around the
Ignatian Way, a spirituality developed
nearly 500 years ago by St. Ignatius of
Loyola who was also the founder of the
Jesuit Order. Ignatius was a Spanish
soldier who was wounded on the
battlefield. He established the Jesuits,
known as the Society of Jesus, in 1540 and instructed
early Jesuits to “go out and find God in all things. This
is the unique spirituality of the Jesuit Order. The
Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola are often
described as Ignatius’s greatest gift to the world. The
basic thrust is to make us more aware/attentive to
God’s presence and activity and therefore, enable us to
be responsive to God’s calling in our life.
One of the dynamics I particularly appreciate about
the Ignatian Way is the Daily Examen – an end of day
spiritual review that involves prayerfully recollecting
moments during our day when God was most active,
or not, followed by a decision on our part to act in
some way. (This would be a good practice for us as we
look back upon our Liturgical year to consider the
Feast of Christ the King we celebrate today) Our
retreat Director, Fr. Steven Jones, used the image of
desolation/consolation throughout the retreat. There
are times, especially during this Pandemic, when I am
sure we all have felt desolate. When experiencing this
desolation, we are called upon to allow God to work
in our lives to the point we experience God’s
consolation. Thus, Ignatian Spirituality is not merely
an inward journey, much less a self-absorbed one. It
aims to bring us closer to God and more deeply into
the world of wounds and hurts with gratitude, passion,
and humility.
There are many ways to pray and I find the Ignatian
Way to fit my personality as it is so much in line with
12 step spirituality. So often in the spiritual life, we
must put one foot in front of the other to experience
God’s presence and activity in our lives and
world. May we continue to pray for one another
during these, at times, periods of
desolation to experience our loving
and merciful God’s consolation.
God bless and have a good week.
Please remember in your prayers,
Kathleen Nogosek†
Wife of: Robert
May Kathleen and the all the souls of the
faithfully departed, through the
mercy of God, rest in peace.
May the waters of baptism call to mind our
baptism into Christ who has redeemed us by his
death and resurrection. We welcome in
baptism:

QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK
First Reading:
The prophet Daniel has a vision of the “everlasting do-
minion” of the “son of man.” Why do think the Lord
revealed this vision to Daniel?
Second Reading:
John teaches his community that Jesus “has made us
(believers) into a kingdom, priests for his God and Fa-
ther.” How should knowledge of this reality affect
your spiritual journey?
Gospel:
In his trial Jesus tells Pilate that his kingdom is not of
this world. What do you think prevents the Kingdom
of God from being more fully present in our world?

2nd Collection –November 20-21
The Catholic Campaign for Human
Development
The money you give to CCHD works to break the
cycle of poverty by helping low-income people
participate in decisions that affect their lives, families
and communities. In 2021, the CCHD collection
helped fund three local initiatives. The funds enabled
homeless families in Rochester to find stable housing
through Family Promise Rochester. They also helped
to empower immigrant children in the Worthington
area with leadership skills and college readiness
through the Dream Catchers Program. Lastly, the funds
from CCHD helped provide financial literacy classes to
people in poverty throughout the Diocese through the
work of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. Please give
generously to help provide a hand up for those in
poverty in our community and across the country!
