As we experience the impact of this pandemic, we can unite spiritually to pray the Rosary together and ask the miraculous intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary to put an end to the coronavirus.

St. Ignatius was convinced that God can speak to us surely through our imagination as through our thoughts and memories.  In the Ignatian tradition, praying with the imagination is called contemplation.  Ignatian contemplation is especially suited for the Gospels. 

During the journey of the Spiritual Exercises, Ignatius introduces us to the term “magis.” As Kevin O’Brien explains, “Christ summons the best from us, calling us to magis, to greater service and generosity.” One of the meditations done during the Exercises asks us to pray about 3 questions: “What have I done for Christ? What am I doing for Christ? What ought I to do for Christ?”
