From: 31 Days with St. Ignatius
Excerpt from Heroic Leadership
Chris Lowney
I happen to believe that “if you are looking for God, God will find you.”
Ignatius of Loyola or Mother Teresa would have likewise believed that even as we are looking,
and even when we mostly feel lost,
God is somehow finding us,
whether or not it feels that way to us.
Ignatius believed (as I do) that when we set ourselves toward some worthy purpose that transcends our meager strength,
we tap into a source of meaning, strength, peace, and courage that is beyond us.
We come to realize,
in a graced moment,
that we are called to some great purpose,
that we cannot do it on our own,
but that we don’t have to do it on our own.”
