Ignatius knew that our deep desires propel us forward in the Christian journey. Sarah, Fr. Bill, and Andy discuss the Ignatian concept of desire and how it relates to our spiritual life.

Ignatius called himself "the Pilgrim", but what is pilgrimage? Maria, Kay, and Andy talk about how pilgrimage is a journey to know one's self better and to know Jesus better. And the journey leads to love.
