Module 4 – Enriching Spirituality: finding God in our everyday lives

Led by Rev’d Canon Jenny Wilson

Fridays, 11am - 12.30pm, 11 September - 9 October 2026 (no session on 2 October)

St Peter’s Cathedral, North Adelaide (Cynthia Poulton Hall)

In this course, we will explore ideas from Ignatian Spirituality. We will use the Examen, or Review of the Day, each week to begin our exploration of finding God in our everyday lives. We will spend time with methods of prayer that use scripture, particularly stories of Jesus found in the Gospels, such as lectio divina and imaginative prayer. We will ponder the question that Jesus asked Blind Bartimaeus, “What do you want me to do for you?”, finding there a rich source of nurture for our lives of prayer. We will look at Ignatian ways of reflecting on decisions that we need to make in everyday life and at times when profound discernment is needed. We will also explore ways of praying for others; intercessory prayer.

A helpful book is The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything: A Spirituality for Real Life by James Martin SJ. (It is not necessary to own the book.)
