Words of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Hey All!

I recently returned from a week long mission trip to Mexico City. Seeking Christ in the poor and following in the footsteps of St. Juan Diego. I hadn't read the accounts of what Our Lady had said to Juan Diego before. But when reading this, I couldn't help but find these words consoling and used them as meditation material the whole week.


"My littlest son, let nothing frighten or grieve you. Let not your heart be disturbed. Do not fear this sickness, nor any sickness or suffering. Am I not here, I who am your mother? Are you not in my shadow, under my protection? Am I not your health? Are you not happily within my fold? What else do you wish? Do not grieve or be disturbed by anything."


It is such good news and a relief to have such a caring mother.


Have a Blessed October!

And a persistent one! I love the fact that Juan Diego tries to avoid running into her by going around the other side of the mountain, but she is not to be ignored and catches him.

Certification Ignatian Spiritual Exercises?

Good morning!


Are there any recommended online programs to train/certify others to lead the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises and 19th Annotation? Does IDI offer these?


Thank you!

Hi Fr. Daniel,


The IDI has only one training program so far; that is the one to prepare teachers to share the First Week Rules for the discernment of spirits, which is offered both in-person and online.


Certification to lead the Spiritual Exercises would probably require some prior training in spiritual direction, and this requires in-person communication (as opposed to online) to be done well. For example, the Oblates of the Virgin Mary operate Lanteri Center here in Denver. They offer a spiritual direction training program (in-person), followed by a program for those who wish to guide others through the Exercises (also in person).


Every blessing,

Fr. Mark

Thank you for posting from the UK! And welcome to our Groups page.

Fr. Timothy Gallagher and I, who founded the Ignatian Discernment Institute, are Oblates of the Virgin Mary. We have priests in Southampton and Middlesbrough. Perhaps you are near one of our communities there.


Every blessing,
