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.

St. Ignatius of Loyola

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.

- CLC Instrumental in First Jesuit/Ignatian Collaboration at the UN
  
  July 9
  
  CLC's UN Working Group was instrumental in the first-ever Jesuit/Ignatian collaboration at the UN's High Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development. CLC-USA members worked very closely with the Jesuit Social Justice and Ecology Secretariat in Rome on planning and logistics to facilitate the attendance of the Jesuits and other Ignatian collaborators at this important UN Forum which begins July 9th. CLC also helped to organize the special event planned for Thursday evening July 11th at the Jesuit Conference Center in Manhattan entitled "How To Collaborate on the Care of Our Common Home." Jesuit Fr. General Sosa made a special video for the Jesuit/Ignatian delegation and said “This is an important event for the Society of Jesus, first of all because we have a long experience of working in all these fields in numerous places in the world: accompanying excluded persons and communities, working for justice and reconciliation and for the care of our common home."
