February 25-26, 2023 (Commuter Retreat)	Overcoming Spiritual Discouragement: An Ignatian Path to Hope All of us experience ups and downs in the daily spiritual life: times when God feels close and we have spiritual energy, and times when that energy wanes, and we struggle with discouragement. In fourteen practical guidelines (“rules”), St. Ignatius of Loyola offers invaluable aid toward understanding this experience, finding freedom from discouragement, and living our daily lives with joy. If this teaching is perennially important, it is more so now in such uncertain times. In this retreat, Fr. Timothy Gallagher, OMV, will explore St. Ignatius’ teaching and apply it to our experience through concrete examples.
