Ignatian Spirituality Institute - John Carroll University

ISI Certification Ceremony Address
Stephen T. Krupa, S.J.
Certification of the Charter Class of the Ignatian Spirituality Institute
at John Carroll University
August 28, 2005 / Dolan Auditorium

I was asked by Joan Nuth to say something at this point in the ISI Certification Ceremony to this fine gathering of graduates, relatives, friends and guests about the Ignatian Spirituality Institute, our ISI . . . how it came to be, what it hopes to accomplish, and some ideas about its future.

Perhaps we have several guests and relatives here who may not know just what “the ISI” is. So let me make it clear for those here who may not know. The Ignatian Spirituality Institute is a two-year training program in spiritual direction based on the tradition of the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus, otherwise known as the Jesuits. Those enrolled in the ISI spend Year I of the program studying the Spiritual Exercises and theology, as well as the biblical, psychological, and listening skill resources pertinent to the ministry of spiritual direction. Then Year II of the program continues these studies while the ISI participants are engaged in the actual work of spiritual direction under supervision. This is the ISI Year II practicum in spiritual direction that the members of the Charter Class, our graduates today, have just completed.

In thinking of the history of the ISI, one must go back to late 1998. The Institute actually began with what might be called a “coincidence of requests.” Fr. Thomas Schubeck, S.J., then the head of the Department of Religious Studies at John Carroll, was approached by two separate sources, within the very same week, about starting a program to train spiritual directors at John Carroll. One source was the Provincial Superior of the Detroit Province, Fr. John Libens, S.J., who hoped that John Carroll would become the home of an academically solid program in the Spiritual Exercises, and the other source was the CLC leadership (i.e., the Christian Life Communities’ leadership) of northern Ohio in the persons of Mr. Ed Bourguignon and retired History professor from John Carroll, Dr. Mary Kay Howard, who were concerned to increase the number of spiritual directors in the Greater Cleveland area who could serve CLC members who were having difficulty finding enough qualified spiritual directors in northern Ohio. Now, understand that the Jesuit Provincial and Mary Kay and Ed did not know at all that the other was about to contact Fr. Schubeck with the idea for such a program. Many took this coincidence as a first sign that the Holy Spirit was at work in the whole enterprise!

Feb. 10, ’99 Fr. Jack Dister, S.J. came from Detroit as the Provincial’s representative to chair a meeting at John Carroll with JCU faculty, representatives of CLC and the local retreat houses, St. Ignatius High School, and a representative from Borromeo Seminary.

The issue Jack posed at the meeting was the feasibility of establishing a spiritual direction training program based on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius at John Carroll University.

To investigate the matter further an Exploratory Planning Committee was created with Mary Kay Howard as Chairperson.
Mar. 24, ’99 The Exploratory Planning Committee met and decided to call the proposed
program the Ignatian Spirituality Program (so, before there was an ISI there was “the ISP”). The Planning Committee then formed subcommittees to investigate funding for the ISP, the placement of the program within the university structure, the ISP curriculum, marketing potential, and the survey of other spiritual direction training programs around the nation as models for our own program.

Aug. 16, ’99 The ISP Planning Committee met for a day-long retreat at Carrollodge.
Rosemarie Carfagna, of the Ursuline community and the faculty of Borromeo Seminary, facilitated this day of discernment about how we ought to proceed. At this Carrollodge meeting, what was “discerned” in part is that Steve Krupa, S.J. (that’s me) should draft the formal proposal for the Ignatian Spirituality Program to be presented to the administration to the University. (I’m not sure how that buck got passed to me and so quickly, but it came under the rubric of “discernment” that day, and so it seemed to be the Holy Spirit’s doing! I’m not so sure! In any case . . . ) This draft of a proposal actually became a rather elaborate and detailed protocol for the ISP at John Carroll which, by the time of its last draft, included a proposed budget and the model curriculum for the ISP.

Throughout the fall of 1999 I submitted for comment and revision to the Planning Committee successive drafts of the ISP Protocol . . . and on December 13th 1999 the fifth and final draft of the ISP protocol was submitted to Dr. Frederick Travis, Provost and Academic Vice President of John Carroll and Dr. Nick Baumgartner, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, for approval.

Jan. 11, ’00 After Christmas break, in January 2000, Dr. Travis met with Mary Kay
Howard, Ed Bourguignon, Jack Dister, from the Detroit Province Office, and myself. Dr. Travis said that he and Dr. Baumgartner were generally disposed
to the idea of the ISP. Several major hurdles had to be surmounted, however,
before final approval of the ISP by the University.

These had to do with funding, space for offices, finding “a home” for the
ISP within the university structure, and an internal review of the ISP
Protocol and Model Curriculum by a broad-based committee within the university.

Feb. 1, ’00 The first hurdle, finding a home for the ISP within the University, was
resolved in February 2000. By a unanimous vote the members of the Department of Religious Studies, proposed to the University administration that
the Ignatian Spirituality Program become an affiliate program of the Religious
Studies Department. Dr. Paul Lauritzen, as the new Chair of the Religious
Studies Department replacing Fr. Schubeck, from now on was brought
into all of the decisions concerning the ISP.

Mar. ’00 A second hurdle was overcome the next month, in mid-March 2000. To satisfy the need of a broad-based internal review of the ISP and its curriculum, I gathered 12 diverse members from the faculty, staff, and administration at the University, including a member of the Board of Trustees, to review the ISP protocol and curriculum. In late March 2000, Jerry Sheehan, one of the Internal Review Committee members, wrote a letter on behalf of the review committee to Drs. Baumgartner and Travis expressing the strong support of the committee of review for the ISP.

May ’00 Moreover, by May 2000, ten letters of recommendation that I had solicited from outside the University in support of the ISP, providing a sort of external review of the ISP protocol, arrived at the offices of Drs. Travis and Baumgartner. These included letters of support from Ursuline College, the Jesuit Provincial, Borromeo Seminary, the heads of regional retreat houses in Ohio and Pennsylvania, and the Diocese of Cleveland.

Oct. ’00 The renovation of the large space under Kulas Auditorium in the basement of the Administration building in 2000 helped us to jump the third hurdle . . . office space. In October 2000, Dr. Travis gave me the happy news that he had assigned the ISP office space under Kulas Auditorium in the area then being renovated for new offices. Also at this time, Dr. Travis gave the “go ahead” to begin soliciting funds for the ISP.

To address the large fourth hurdle, funding for the ISP, then, I began a series of meetings with Mr. Peter Anagnostos, the head of the Development Office at John Carroll. In mid-October 2000 Peter approved the ISP budget that I had outlined in the protocol, and from that time and throughout 2001 fundamental steps were taken to provide funding for the ISP. The JCU Development Office gave us names of potential donors, ways to approach them, and staff in the persons of Mary Anne Gauntner and Timothy O’Callahan.

Jan. ’01 By January of 2001, two accounts had been established in the JCU Business Office for the ISP: (1) first, an ISP Endowment Fund with a goal of $5 million, and (2) second, an ISP Operating Fund set at $250,000.

Mar. ’01 Within three months, that is, by the end of March 2001, the Operating Fund nearly reached its target of $250,000. That was quick work! Generous gifts from the Touhy family through the Tuohy Endowment in the Religious Studies Department ($40,000), the Detroit Province of the Society of Jesus ($127,000), and my own Jesuit Community here at John Carroll ($75,000) provided these early contributions to the Operating Fund.

Apr. ’01 In April 2001, the second ISI fund, the Endowment Fund was inaugurated by an initial and very generous gift of $100,000 from a source wishing to remain anonymous. Thus, were we launched towards our $5 million dollar goal.

It was in mid-2001, also, that I met two remarkable women, Mrs. Alice Powers and Mrs. Nancy O’Neill. Both Alice Powers O’Neill and Nancy O’Neill were gracious hosts and, through numerous lunch meetings at Nighttown with Alice, and dinners and overnights with Nancy at Bemus Point, New York, near Chitauchua, I was welcomed to speak with both women about the mission and hopes of the Ignatian Spirituality Program. Alice – she insisted at our first lunch meeting that I call her Alice, as long as she could call me Steve! – Alice had been a member of the Sodality for many years and, so, was interested to bring the support of the O’Neill Foundation to bear on a program that would promote Ignatian spirituality. And Nancy – who wanted to be called Nancy, and who knew more Jesuits than I’ll ever know – also became interested in the ISP in part, I surmise, because she came to trust me. “I always back the jockey, not the horse, Father,” she said to me one night during dinner, “and you seem like a good bet!” “Well, fine,” I thought. I hoped that I would be able to live up to her high opinion . . . and her great generosity.

These first meetings with Alice Powers and Nancy O’Neill took place in 2001. I met with them until their deaths. Alice and Nancy are both deceased. I think of them as angels for us, now, as they have been and continue to be for so many

whose lives and needs they have touched and endowed. I know that Nancy, an Episcopalian, would be very delighted by the ecumenical constituency of the ISI.

Because of Alice and Nancy and the generosity of Mr. Hugh O’Neill, and through the intervention of Peter Anagnostos and the Development Office at John Carroll, as well as Fr. Ed Glynn, the President of John Carroll University, the ISP Endowment Fund was provided with a generous gift of $900,000 over the next two years from the F.J. O’Neill Foundation.

I want to express the gratitude of everyone involved in the ISI to all of our donors, particularly those in attendance, and especially to Alice Powers, Nancy O’ Neill, and Mr. Hugh O’ Neill. Without all of you the Institute, clearly, would not be possible.

While the initial funding was coming into the ISP throughout 2001-2002, planning for the inauguration of the program at JCU continued. We were disappointed when we had to delay the start of the Program from Fall 2002 to Fall 2003 for lack of funds, but we also realized that we had a fair amount of work to do before we could invite the first, or Charter Class, to the Program. Not only fundraising, but we had to do further work on the curriculum and on marketing and advertising for the Program, as well as creating application forms and ISP brochures, the determination of our admission requirements and interview procedures for the candidates, and coming up with the supervision norms and methods for the Year II practicum.

To deal with these matters, an ISP Steering Committee was formed at the end of February 2001.

At this time, as I was looking ahead to finishing a year-long term as the rector of the Jesuit Community, I was asked by the University to spend the next academic year of 2001-2002 as the Interim Director of the ISP. At the same time, Dr. Joan Nuth, who had been with the ISP from its inception in 1999, and had served on the ISP Exploratory and Planning Committees, now became the chairperson of the new Steering Committee. Thirteen talented and generous people, many from outside of John Carroll, were asked to be on the Steering Committee and we worked together hard and wonderfully, I think, for the next two years, 2001 through 2003, to bring final shape and form to the Ignatian Spirituality Institute -- no longer the Ignatian Spirituality Program, but “Institute” -- as we now preferred to call the program.

The 13 people of the ISI Steering Committee deserve our heartfelt appreciation for their hard work during 2001-2003:

? Paula Britton (John Carroll University, Associate Professor of Education and Allied Studies, Ph.D.) ? Rosemarie Carfagna, OSU (Borromeo Seminary, Academic Dean and Professor of Philosophy, Ph.D.) ? Sr. Carolyn Capuano, HM (Director of Villa Maria Retreat Center, MTS Theology) ? Fr. Walter Farrell, S.J. (current Treasurer and former Provincial of the Detroit Province of the Society of Jesus, and former President of the Jesuit Conference) ? Kathleen Haase-Falbo (Director of the Pastoral Ministry Office of the Diocese of Cleveland, M.Ed.) ? Sr. Patricia Kozak, CSJ (Member of the Leadership Team for the Congregation of the Sisters St. Joseph, Spiritual Director, MA. Religious Studies) ? Stephen T. Krupa, S.J. (Assistant Professor, Department of Religious Studies, John Carroll University, Ph.D.) ? Joan Nuth (Associate Professor, Department of Religious Studies, John Carroll University, Ph.D.) ? Fr. Paul Panaretos, S.J. (Director of Loyola of the Lakes Jesuit Retreat House, M.Div.) ? Nicholas Santilli (Chairperson and Associate Professor, Psychology Department, John Carroll University, Ph.D.) ? and Sr. Janet Schlichting, OP (Director of the Graduate Ministry Program, Ursuline College, D.Min.). In addition, Mary Kay Howard and Ed Bourguignon remained as honorary Steering Committee members.

One of the last things I did before turning over the directorship of the ISI to Joan in the summer of 2002 was making a visit to Ursuline College in April 2002 to meet an art student there. We needed a logo for the Institute, some recognizable and meaningful way to identify the ISI and its mission. Sr. Diane Pinchot of the Art Department at Ursuline put me in touch with art student, Sheri Jamieson, who was just a few months away from getting her MA in fine arts and who needed to add another project to her portfolio before graduation. I spent an hour or so with Sheri in the Ursuline art studio. We discussed the ISI and its mission, and Sheri asked me about the Jesuits and about Ignatius Loyola. I left some reading material on Ignatius and Ignatian spirituality with Sheri and she told me that she would contact me with a design in early June.

Was I glad that I met Ms. Jamieson! What a great logo for the ISI! An Ignatian flame in orange and black . . . simple, eye-catching, meaningful. As Sheri explained her design to me, the flame represents the fire of the Holy Spirit alive in Ignatius. This fire, she explained, relates both to the passion of those who come to know Jesus personally through the Spiritual Exercises, and also the flame of St. Ignatius, a man on fire with God. That the name “Ignatius” itself is from ignis, its Latin root, suggested fire, Sheri felt. “There’s something in the person and in his name and what you said about Ignatian spirituality,” Sheri said, “that is about ‘ignition,’ the igniting of a flame . . . being set aflame.” “But,” Sheri went on, “I also see a pod in this design as well. That’s why I didn’t close the figure at the top. Seen as a pod, the symbol suggests how people who engage in Ignatian spirituality through spiritual direction open up to the life that God offers.”

We’ve made up pins for our graduates with the ISI logo, and the logo appears, as well, on our ISI letterhead and brochures and in our ISI publication, Ignis.

In summer of 2002 Joan Nuth took over leadership of the ISI between the death of my mother and my father who both died that year. Speaking figuratively, if I got the airplane started and onto the runway, Joan has gotten into the pilot seat and made it fly. And fly it has! The ISI is now off the ground and flying, and for the most part, the ride has been pretty smooth!

Under Joan’s leadership the ISI has become a reality -- in its curriculum, its supervisory processes, its applications and admissions procedures, and in its methods of accountability and assessment. Joan has been the main teacher of the ISI, as well as the major budget manager, intake interviewer, fund raiser, supervisor trainer, intern evaluator, and marketer. In her spare time she actually tries to think about something else besides the ISI!

One of the best things Joan and I did in the leadership transition in the early fall of 2002 was the hiring of the ISI secretary. We interviewed several candidates. The last to be interviewed was Mary Thompson. Mary not only brought us a good resume, she baited us by bringing chocolate chip cookies into her interview. And . . . it worked! Mary is responsible for much of the success of the ISI in its day-to-day operations, and, in particular, for the layout and publication of the attractive and informative Ignis which comes out several times a year from the ISI office.

In addition to Joan’s hard work, the task of honing the various components of the program is assisted, now, by the ISI Advisory Committee which succeeded the Steering Committee in late 2003. The Advisory Committee, which now includes Walt Farrell, Pat Kozak, Paul Panaretos, Paula Britton, Don Cozzens, Allison Bendars, and Kathleen Haase-Falbo continues to advise the Institute in matters of curriculum, marketing, and fundraising for the Endowment, much like the Steering Committee which it replaced.

Let me say something about what the ISI hopes to accomplish and its future direction.

The specific purpose of the ISI, as I mentioned at the beginning of this talk, is training of spiritual directors in the Christian tradition of spiritual direction that is represented by the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius Loyola.

In spiritual direction one Christian engages another Christian who is seeking a deeper relationship with God in a unique form of conversation, assisting the seeker: (1) to pay attention to God’s personal communication to him or her, (2) to respond in a personal way to this communication, (3) to grow in intimacy with God, and, (4) especially in the Ignatian tradition of spiritual direction, to live out the consequences of this relationship in a life of self-donation.

Spiritual direction has more practitioners than just the Jesuits and their companions, however, and in Christianity, certainly, there are a number of different traditions of spiritual guidance and direction.

What, then, is the unique “take” on spiritual direction when done in the tradition of Ignatius’ Spiritual Exercises?

A Jewish woman of a certain town had become distraught about her relationship to God, for she feared that she might be in violation of the Law. The woman had acquired a chicken one day, but did not know if it was kosher. So the woman decided to seek the spiritual counsel of a famous rabbi in a neighboring village who was wise in the ways of God.

“Is it kosher or is it not kosher?” “I do not know!” “May I eat the chicken or is it forbidden?”

The rabbi was silent and he thought for a moment. Then he looked at the woman and taking the chicken from her placed it on the ground next to him.

“Before we discuss your chicken,” the rabbi said, “tell me, who are you? And who is the God of the Universe, do you think? Tell me, how do you live? What do you live for? Who lives with you? How much money do you make? How many people do you feed? When was this chicken to be served and for whom? Do you have anything else to serve? Who will benefit from this chicken? If you do not serve it, who will be deprived?”

So the woman conversed with the rabbi, and an hour and more passed that afternoon. Finally, when the rabbi understood better the person before him, he bent over and picked up the chicken at his side.

Returning it to the woman, he said: “O.K. Now let’s talk about the chicken.”

The wise rabbi knew that you cannot answer the question that the woman posed if all you know is the chicken.

As people involved in a pastoral ministry in the Church, we could as directors just quote “the law” and “the rules” to people who come before us with their lives. In a religion heavy with doctrine, some ministers function by quoting the established formulas and prescriptions, believing, after they have done so, that they have done their work. But the beauty, and the intelligence, and the wisdom of our Christian doctrine and practice will not become a lived reality if we do not take account of the person who comes to us with a question.

The Ignatian tradition of spiritual direction encourages us to see the person along with the chickens they carry.

At the beginning of the Spiritual Exercises in Annotation 15 ( . . . graduates, you all know, of course, Annotation 15 by heart now!), Ignatius reminds the director of the Exercises that it is God who is the director and the lover of the human life now before us. Like the wise rabbi, Ignatius knew – because he experienced it in his own life in a dramatic way after a cannonball shattered his leg and his life – that, as Ann. #15 states: “the Creator deals directly with the creature and the creature with the Creator.” It is precisely this direct personal communication and encounter between a self-communicating God and the human subject open to receive this God, that spiritual directors are privileged to hear in retreat work and in the work of ongoing spiritual direction.

In such a way, far from being just a religion of rules and regulations, or simply a religion of the passive reception of graces mediated by the ordained, Christianity becomes the incarnational miracle, the enfleshed grace of intimate union with God, and the spur to mission in the world, that it is meant to be.

Quite simply, then, the ISI hopes to provide its participants with the tools and the skills necessary to accompany other Christians as they discover the power and the presence of the living God in their lives and in our world. Then, spread out in congregations and parishes throughout Greater Cleveland, graduates of the Institute might become a resource for the ongoing discernment in the churches of how the Spirit is leading us in our time in our discipleship with Christ.

Before saluting the graduates, and wishing them Viya con Dios as they leave us, let me say something about directions for the future for the Ignatian Spirituality Institute – and I’ll be brief.

(1) First, the Institute is at John Carroll University, its host and sponsor. Two of the Charter Class graduates already have been involved with our students and staff on the eight-day retreats offered twice annually, in the winter and spring, to the whole John Carroll community at the Jesuit Retreat House. In the future, one might anticipate that ISI interns will become more integrated into the life of the University, through Campus Ministry, certainly, but also through the Office of University Mission and Identity, currently led by Fr. Howard Gray. With the greater infusion of Ignatian themes and ideas throughout the campus, the ISI could be a valuable resource in the task of promoting the Ignatian character of the University’s mission, through the involvement of our interns and graduates with the campus CLC groups, eight-week experiences of the Exercises or nineteenth annotation retreats with faculty and staff, and the various student retreats.

(2) Secondly, while the ISI attracts ministers, nuns, and priests, its largest draw is lay Christians. The ISI has an important role to play in actualizing the gifts of lay leaders in the Church at a time when the Holy Spirit is clearly calling forth the lay Church. The impact of the ISI in the Greater Cleveland area will not be insignificant as the years pass. At the rate of 15 students per year the ISI in ten years will have placed 150 graduates in the congregations and parishes of Greater Cleveland with a competency in spiritual direction. In 20 years it will be 300 graduates -- 300 people doing spiritual direction! This is not an insignificant number considering the lives these directors will influence.

Therefore, it is imperative that we increase fundraising efforts in the hope of achieving
the $5 million dollar ISI Endowment goal. Achieving this goal would guarantee the program. We are at about $1.2 million, so we have a way to go in this effort.

(3) Third, we are thrilled today because of the graduation and certification of our Charter Class graduates from the ISI, certainly. But this graduation points to the need to plan for what we are now calling “Year III” of the ISI -- that is, the ISI needs to begin to think and to plan for the ongoing education and formation of the graduates of the Institute. As in any profession, we will need to provide updating, the sharing of new resources and information, and the ongoing development of knowledge and skills for our graduates. We trust that you, the ISI graduates, will tell us what you need as you work in the field and see what we might have missed in our curriculum, and what is needful in terms of ongoing formation and education.

(4) Fourth, the ISI is blessed by the presence of Protestant Christians not only in the Charter Class, but in every year of the program. 11 of the 45 ISI interns currently enrolled in the program are Protestant. That is about one-fourth of the total program. We need to continue to promote the Institute among the Protestant churches, certainly, as well as throughout the parishes of the Catholic diocese. But we also ought to contact the eastern rite Catholic Churches and even the Orthodox Christian churches that are so plentiful in the Greater Cleveland area. Eastern rite Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity both represent historically and ritually rich Christian spiritualities. In its advanced programming, and beyond its central mission to train spiritual directors, the ISI could become the sponsor of a public dialogue among Catholic, Protestant, eastern rite, and Orthodox spiritualities through panels, seminars, and lectures at the University. I would envision the same programming opportunities, focused on spirituality, with the representatives of various Islamic and Jewish spiritual traditions in Greater Cleveland.

(5) Finally, I think that there is a challenge for all of us who do spiritual direction in our time in history, and I lay this challenge at the feet of our graduates as well as at my own feet.

Our awareness and understanding of poverty and the extent of its reach in the world has never been so keen. Through the media we are presented daily with stories and images of the lives the poor and uneducated who daily face great deprivation, the struggle for a life with dignity, and even the struggle for survival. These stories and images are not just of people abroad in foreign lands, but stories and images of people in our own cities and towns.

Immersion experiences both at home and abroad have offered a growing number of Christians experiences of shared life with the poor. Such experiences of human solidarity, though brief, have led many religious persons to see the gospel and the person Jesus with new eyes. These experiences have taught us that the poor have as much to teach us about God and life as we have to teach them. They have revealed the deep faith of the masses.

Lest the Spiritual Exercises and the work of spiritual direction be viewed as an expression of middle and upper class privilege, I challenge our graduates, and all of us involved with the Institute, to carry the knowledge and competence gained here into those realms, and among those people, for whom fear and deprivation are “daily bread.”

As St. Ignatius pointed out, there is much to be gained for the furtherance of God’s kingdom by serving people of means. However, Ignatius and the first Jesuits served the poor and the outcast in Rome at the same time that they went off to advise the leaders of the Church at the Council of Trent. Moreover, early on Jesuits carried the word of God and the Spiritual Exercises to new people in new lands and cultures. Adaptation of the Exercises to people of different races and cultures, and to different kinds of persons, took place from the beginning of the Jesuits.

In that spirit, I’d suggest that beyond offering retreats based on the 19th Annotation to men and women who have the mental culture to benefit from this format, that we start to explore together through the Institute forms of the Exercises based on the 18th Annotation where Ignatius encourages the provision of retreats for those of limited means and education. In other words, how might we bring spiritual direction to the poor?

In closing, let me salute and celebrate the graduates of the Charter Class of the ISI. Thank you. Thank you for your life and your enthusiasm during these years. Thank you for being the frontrunners and the “guinea pigs” . . . for giving the Institute its first “try out” and for helping us to work out the kinks. You, we, have made history together, and hopefully some lasting relationships. Blessings of health and happiness on you and your families, surely, and may you continue to have good, even remarkable, experiences with people in spiritual direction! I pray for your ongoing formation in wisdom and in all of the elements of knowledge and competency that come to bear on the work of spiritual direction.

As a way to wish you well and on your way, let me offer a small parable to close about the precariousness we all feel as we experience endings and new beginnings, the precariousness that we often feel as we try to live in faith, and the precariousness we sometimes feel in the work of spiritual direction when we are not at all sure where things are going . . . a parable about the Word of God and how ultimately it works everything in our lives for good.

And they flew.

Graduates of the Charter Class of the Ignatian Spirituality Institute 2005, may you fly!
