    The Body Knows: Ignatian Discernment and Felt Sense

    The body is not an obstacle to spiritual knowledge but one of its most reliable channels, a truth independently discovered by Ignatius of Loyola on a sickbed and by psychologist Eugene Gendlin in a Chicago laboratory four hundred years later. Ignatian discernment, far from being an intellectual exercise, is grounded in a somatic attentiveness to the interior movements of consolation and desolation that the body registers before the mind can name them.

    Under Whose Flag? – An Ignatian Response to Political Power

    The Gospel is inherently political—concerned with how human beings live together, how power is exercised, and who bears its cost—but it is not partisan, and the difference between those two things matters enormously. The Ignatian tradition, from Ignatius's own Two Standards meditation through five centuries of Jesuit witness, offers a framework for engaging political reality not through tribal allegiance but through fidelity to a gospel that consistently finds itself on the side of the poor, the marginalised, and the truth.

    Hope Is Not Optimism

    Hope and optimism are not the same thing: optimism is a prediction about outcomes, while hope is an orientation of the spirit that doesn't require a particular future to hold firm. Drawing on Havel, Rahner, Byung-Chul Han, and Ignatian spirituality, this is a reflection on hope as a deliberate choice to remain open to God's future, even in the midst of darkness and uncertainty.

    The Benevolent Glance: A Spirituality of Seeing

    We are made for mutual gaze and this fundamental human need points toward something deeper: a God who gazes upon us with love before we get anything right or wrong. To be truly seen by another, and to truly see them, is not merely a social act but a spiritual one, a tangible making-present of divine love in the world.

    Cherished Belonging: Reimagining Sin as Woundedness

    What Christianity has called sin can now be named more precisely as trauma, developmental wounds, and disconnection from our true selves—a shift from moral failure to existential brokenness. Greg Boyle's work at Homeboy Industries, grounded in the conviction that there are no bad people but only wounded ones, suggests that redemption means being reminded of our inherent goodness rather than being saved from inherent badness.

    The Wisdom of Holy Mess

    The universe operates on a rhythm of order and creative disruption, from the primordial soup to scattered toys on a living room floor. God doesn't sterilize our chaos—whether the playful mess of children at creative play or the painful mess of suffering and brokenness—but enters into it, revealing even disorder as holy ground where grace emerges.

    Lost in the Cloud of Knowing

    We live in an age of instant information where every question can be answered with a quick search, but this efficiency kills the wonder that questions are meant to inspire. The spiritual life requires us to be comfortable with mystery and unknowing, trusting that faith lives not in certainty but in the gap between "I don't know" and "yet."

    The Labyrinth, the Race, and the Spirit of Haste

    Hastiness reveals the spirit that treats even sacred practices as achievements to be completed rather than journeys to be trusted. The labyrinth teaches us that God's path is inefficient by the world's standards, winding away from the center just when we think we're getting close, requiring patient trust rather than strategic speed.
