Here’s a basic way to pray an Ignatian Contemplation with a story from the Bible:
This first Sunday of Lent the Gospel story is the temptation of Jesus in the desert (Luke 4:1-13). During this week, you might use the steps above to pray with this story. Next week and following, you’ll find here a guided Ignatian Contemplation applied to one of the readings from that Sunday. You can also use this prayer with others stories from Scripture.
Imagine…by the time Easter comes, we might have a whole new habit of prayer developed, to enter into all the amazing Resurrection stories even more profoundly!
In prayer,
