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. -

From World CLC ExCo: The images seen of what happened in Beirut this week deeply sadden the whole CLC. It is a real disaster following two strong explosions at the port of Beirut. The city is devastated. There are a lot of victims, wounded, people lost under the ruins or thrown into the sea, and widespread damage in the area. In the blink of an eye, many found themselves homeless. It is sad. (click blue text above to read more.)Read More -

Happy Feast of St. Ignatius to all in CLC and to our Jesuit collaborators and our dear friends around the World! Take Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, all that I have and possess. Thou hast given all to me. To Thee, O lord, I return it. All is Thine, dispose of it wholly according to Thy will. Give me Thy love and thy grace, for this is sufficient for me. Saint Ignatius LoyolaRead More -
