9:31 "Perhaps it's true that in the spiritual life the saints choose us even more than we choose them" YES! Recently I came across a video on youtube in Italian with the title "I Santi ci scelgono o siamo noi a scegliere loro?" (Do the saints choose us or do we choose them?) and since then I have reflected on this and shared this concept with others. We often think we choose our patron saints but rather it's much more likely the other way around. God our Father loves all His children, and He sends His older, mature children to help His little uncertain children. As any good parent does: Your little sister/brother/cousin/neighbor needs help. Go give them a helping hand, instruct them, guide their way, light their path..."
Thank you so much because I have had St. Francis , St. Ignatius also came to me but never realized it until now ,this video just game me more reason why they still call me I named my last child after both Saints. This is my 7 child. Thank you Fr. Anthony for this information ❤
What a wonderful episode! I am so excited about this series. Fr Anthony has such a warm presence! I have been doing the Exercises as part of my Lenten journey so I can’t wait to learn more about them and St Ignatius with y’all. God bless Discerning Hearts and Kris McGregor!
I've worked in this my whole life: Jesus is a Door. You have the key to unlock the Door. On the other side of the wall, that separates us from God, God lives in His place known to mortals, as Israel. Knock upon the Door. God will answer, He will ask you, who are you. You have to say, I Am (your name) who am _______. That sentence is God's name in Israel. It is Yahwah, or, I Am who am. The name Jesus, is a Door, with God's name attached to it. Jesus translates into, I'm Am Who Am IS SALVATION. He spent three days in hell. Probably, looking for souls. God hung a door in hell. It says, Exit. It has blood above is entry portal, like in Egypt, death will Passover you when inside.

I was given an assignment to write on Ignatian Spirituality. This episode helped more than you know!
Fantastic! Thank you so much.
Thank you! Will share. I did a 5-day Ignatian Retreat with dear Fr. JOHN Jenkins of the SSPX in Cape Town. Beautiful.
