This course offers new ways to pray and live and gives an opportunity to learn more about Ignatian Spirituality. Hearts on Fire offers an engaging introduction over the course of six weekly online sessions. The Ignatian approach to Christian Spirituality, which is about Finding God in All Things, and becoming ever-more aware of God in the midst of our often very full daily lives, is explored. Hearts on Fire also provides an introduction and some experience of some basic Ignatian ways of praying, including Imaginative Gospel Contemplation and the Examen of Consciousness.
