Ignatian Prayer-Life

Ignatians, resolved to follow Our Lord’s command “Vigilate et Orate” (Mk 14:38), commit themselves to intense and frequent prayer not only for their own souls but also as an integral part of their priestly and Ignatian mission to seek the Honor of God and the eternal salvation of the souls of their fellow men and women.
