Before Jesus says a word to the rich young man, Mark tells us: "Jesus looked at him and loved him." The gaze comes first. Before decision, before response — just love. That pattern runs through everything. https://t.co/mxZbjETVhe

You don't have to manufacture something extraordinary. The ordinary, offered with love, is already more than enough.

Havel: hope is "not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out." Optimism is a prediction. Hope is a stance. https://t.co/5UW3uU3vK7

"You are the beloved." Henri Nouwen's reminder that this is who we are — before any achievement, failure, or striving. The foundation everything else rests on.

"Yes, and"—the first rule of improv—turns out to be a pretty good description of Ignatian indifference. A conversation about radical acceptance, presence, and building the cathedral together.

Can God be offended? The question sounds irreverent — but taking it seriously changes everything about how we pray. https://t.co/hbb72gOXlY

Ignatius: "It is not knowing much, but relishing things interiorly, that satisfies the soul." We've become gods of the "how" — but the "why" questions can't be Googled. https://t.co/sjo5mzcm4w

Ignatian discernment is less a decision method than an embodied practice of reading interior movements as navigational guides, shaping both the path and the person. https://t.co/DXTZKja7fx

When a pope and a president argue publicly, the temptation is to pick a side. The Ignatian tradition asks a harder question: under which standard is each voice speaking? https://t.co/tIRvfdqOVE

"Yes, and"—the foundational rule of improv—turns out to be a pretty good description of Ignatian indifference. A fun and thought-provoking read. https://t.co/R3k1Q2oFW9

Ignatius called gratitude the first virtue—the foundation from which all others flow. A rich exploration of why he believed ingratitude was so spiritually dangerous. https://t.co/XYdYZo6H8i

We often confuse optimism with hope. Optimism says, “This will turn out well”; hope says, “This is meaningful, whatever happens,” and keeps us leaning towards God’s future. https://t.co/5UW3uU3vK7

How a simple, "benevolent glance" can heal the deep wound of feeling unseen, revealing God’s loving gaze. Today’s invitation: slow down, really look at the person usually passed by, and silently bless them as a beloved child of God. https://t.co/mxZbjETVhe

What if there really are no “bad people”—only deeply wounded ones who’ve lost sight of their own goodness? I explore how reimagining sin as woundedness changes everything about God, mercy, and how we see one another. https://t.co/OgawPIRV16
