Guided Ignatian Contemplation: Meditations on the Gospels to Come Closer to the Heart of Jesus

Author(s):

“Written by Award-winning author, Titan Literary Book Award for “Bible Verses to Remember and Meditate on for Inner Peace, Strength and growing in Faith, Love, and Hope.”

The purpose of this book is to guide you on the Ignatian contemplation form of prayer by bringing to life some of the stories in Jesus’s life. Fourteen stories from the gospels have been selected to meditate on and are presented in chronological order. Also, Bible verses from Old and New Testament books have been included that may relate to the stories and thus enrich the text with the written word of God.
After contemplating the gospels, Saint Ignatius suggests that we have a conversation with Jesus based on what we have experienced—the thoughts and emotions the stories may have stirred in us, called “colloquy.” You can do so after reading or listening each story. Also, you can pause at any time for personal reflection.
