An Ignatian Retreat — four weeks of prayer and silence? “In reality, even retreats that are carried out in the midst of everyday life and not in silence can be completely Ignatian,” says Pope Francis. “Ignatian” is above all a view, not a method. Ignatius assumes that God is to be found in everything. “The world is so full of God,” Alfred Delp writes. It is important to open oneself to this abundance, to be sensitive to the presence of God, to orientate oneself and to rearrange one’s life accordingly. Such a view can certainly be developed, but it has to be practiced. The filmmaker and Jesuit Fr. Christof Wolf prepares an Ignatian retreat for everyday life. Using the four classical themes “Principle and Foundation”, “The Life of Jesus”, “The Passion of Jesus”, and “The Resurrection of Jesus,” he selects a Bible text for each day, comments on it and formulates suggestions for personal reflection and prayer. He also gives a daily film tip.
