Ignatian Pathways 8: God In All Things: Music and Laughter 27.05.2026 40мин

It is said that joy is an infallible sign of the presence of God. Our last live episode from the Ignatian Family Teach-in, was full of joy! In this episode, filled with laughter and hope and insight, Sr. Erin, Kascha, and Moira share about their ministry and work, about the importance of intergenerational witness at the Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice, and how spirituality (especially Ignatian spirituality) helps us press on. It comes back to the basic idea of finding God in all things, including in the most ordinary: a good meal, a nap, in what we notice of nature and creation, in pop culture, in sports, and certainly in the things that bring us joy. God is in these details, and finding God in all things helps us press on together and recharge our charism batteries when we need to. Special thanks to our guests: Sr. Erin McDonald, CSJ, Digital Youth Minister for the Congregation of St. Joseph and Cohost of Beyond the Habit; Kascha Sanor, Director of Social and Environmental Justice, Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph; Moira Depman, Senior Communications Manager, Catholic Mobilizing Network.

It's about the journey. They also share about their heroes and exemplars in the life of faith and justice.

Live again at the Ignatian Family Teach-in for Justice, this episode brings together collaborators in Jesuit education apostolates: Kaija DeWitt-Allen and Shawna Gallagher Vera of Xavier High School, and Dr. Jeannine Hill Fletcher of Fordham University's Theology Department.

Ignatian Pathways 4: Retreat Yourself! 29.04.2026 33мин

Why should someone go on a retreat? In this live conversation from the Ignatian Family Teach-in for Justice, we talk with the Executive Directors of two of the four Jesuit retreat houses in the East Province. Shevaun Low and Jim Palmer offer some beautiful answers to this question, and insights into what to expect on a weekend retreat, especially at their retreat houses. Fittingly, our episode takes place amidst the din of a busy Ignatian Family Teach-in, so our conversation symbolically invites the listener to tune into God's grace and filter out the background noise—which is exactly what retreats do. This conversation reinforces the importance of prayer for a life of justice, and that when you decide to make a retreat, it is not actually your decision, but a response to God's invitation to be still and rest in God's presence. Learn more about why you should "retreat yourself" in this great episode.

Ignatian Pathways 2: Love Is It 15.04.2026 54мин

In this "Fordhamtastic" episode, we bring together staff and students who are engaged in Ignatian retreat ministry. Roddy, Laura, and Kaitlyn share about how Ignatian Spirituality helps them find God on and off-campus, amidst work as a coach, on the subway commute, and even in academic studies and research. They share tidbits on how to discern so that we know that God is present in these aspects of life. They also talk about how Ignatius is relatable to them as young adults. We land on a slogan of a Fordham favorite pizza joint: love is it, and God's love can lead someone to give up watching hockey, and to grow in authentic love of God, neighbor, and self.

Ignatian Pathways 1: Graced Histories 08.04.2026 52мин

Welcome to OIS's new podcast, Ignatian Pathways. This is a space that will gather voices from across the Ignatian family to share about the many pathways to God that we have all discovered through Ignatian spirituality. Each week, Dave de la Fuente, OIS's Associate Director for Young Adult Ministries will gather these voices together for a discussion. This series is intended for anyone, those who have practiced the way of Ignatius for years and those just beginning to dip their toes into the waters of Ignatian spirituality. In this first episode, as "friends in the Lord," our guests share about the ways that Ignatian Spirituality has shown them a way to God, ranging from storytelling to the Examen to the holistic vision of this spiritual tradition. We focus on the idea of "graced histories," of how God is present in the highs and lows of our lives as they unfold. We devote good attention to the tradition of going on retreat, which is common to our graced histories as previous members of Charis Retreats. Retreats, including the 19th annotation, provide space for reflection, which is a habit that we need to practice to grow spiritually. They also provide the best environment for discerning and choosing what is good and life-affirming. Learn more about the meaning of graced histories, retreats, and the best of what Ignatian Spirituality has to offer.
