Ignatian spirituality is a spirituality for everyday life. It insists that God is present in our world and active in our lives. It is a pathway to deeper prayer, good decisions guided by keen discernment, and an active life of service to others.

Christian Life Community (CLC)
Christian Life Community (CLC) is an international association of lay Christians who have adopted an Ignatian model of spiritual life. The 'Community' of over 25,000 members is present in over sixty countries around the world.
CLC draws its inspiration from the teachings of Ignatius of Loyola, and receives spiritual guidance from the Jesuits. The experience of making the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius is foundational to the members of CLC, not simply as a retreat but as a way of life. Members are encouraged to adhere to a lifestyle which is gospel-based and simple, to serve the poor and to integrate contemplation and action.
As Ignatian spirituality has an essential apostolic dimension, members of CLC seek to bring Gospel values into all aspects of life in today’s world. -

Metro NY CLC members attended Fr. Greg Boyle SJ's talk at Fordham Prep on March 8th. Fr. Greg is the founder of Homeboy Industries which works with gang members in LA. Peppered with humor, Fr. Greg 's masterful storytelling was especially relevant to CLCers as he shared his life's work by interweaving prayer, relationship with God, and mission in creating a "culture of kinship" and of healing with those on the margins. It was an outstanding and moving talk that resonates deeply with our Ignatian charism. Click blue heading text to view Fr. Greg's talk starting at 11:45.Read More -

CLC is with and for young people. Youth are an indispensable part of the apostolic body. Youth is not just a nice topic for the 2020 World CLC Day (March 25th), but it is a major concern and challenge for all of us in CLC. We are inviting you to launch a long-term effort! Regional CLC teams, National ExCo’s, National formation teams and leaders of local communities, should design concrete plans to communicate and offer the gift of CLC to young people in this new context. In general, all the members of local CLC should review how to share our gifts with the younger people.Read More
