Nothing visible is eternal -St. Ignatius

The Nightly Examen, Following St. Ignatius:

Place yourself in God's presence.

Pray to understand how God is active in your life.

Recall your day, specifically your faults

Reflect on what you did, said, or thought in those instances.

Look toward tomorrow, figure out how you can improve.

Conclude with an Our Father.

[the-mercy-workers]

Pray without ceasing on behalf of everyone. For in them there is hope of repentance so that they may attain to God. Permit them, then, to be instructed by your works, if in no other way. Be meek in response to their wrath, humble in opposition to their boasting; to their blasphemies return your prayers; in contrast to their error be steadfast in the faith; and for their cruelty display your gentleness.

St. Ignatius

Sometimes I think we don't talk enough about some of the guilt Jeremiah may hold over religion, and then I remember;

A lot of people don't know that Saint Ignatius of Loyola, or "St. Ignatius" as so called, is a Spanish catholic priest.

And why is that important? Let's take a moment to remember what the school Jeremiah went to after he left the circus is called,

That's the boarding school Jeremiah canonically attended after running from the circus. For multiple years.

So it is to be inferred that it's a Catholic Boarding School.

And when we first learn anything about Jeremiah, or Xander at the time, it's been, I think 6 years? Since he graduated from said school.

So he's had time to, process.

And Cameron Monaghan himself states he feels a sort of passion towards other men (like Bruce), that is definitely called more than platonic on a basic premise.

The catholic church itself opposes same-sex marriage and sodomy and is active in political campaigns against it.

It just makes me think of all the mental turmoil he must've had to go through. Catholic guilt, religious guilt in of itself, is horrible.

And religions like catholicism love to stamp out any form of individuality at the best of times. With how Jeremiah dresses? He probably had a rough upcoming.

And don't get me started on Post-Spray Jer and all the thoughts of catholicism at that point. Or the church he built for himself in season 5, where he oddly made his recruits dress more like Missionaries or Alter Boys.

If you add twinleska into it it's a whole other ball game too.

Or his family at all, really.

God, I think about it a lot.

ANIMA CHRISTI

Author: St. Ignatius of Loyola

Soul of Christ, sanctify me.

Body of Christ, save me.

Blood of Christ, inebriate me.

Water from the side of Christ, wash me.

Passion of Christ, strengthen me.

O good Jesus, hear me.

Within Thy wounds hide me.

Separated from Thee let me never be.

From the malignant enemy, defend me.

At the hour of death, call me. And close to Thee bid me.

That with Thy saints I may be Praising Thee, forever and ever.

Amen.

Feast Day: ST. IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA, Ora Pro Nobis !

[beautiful-basque-country]

Ignatius of Loyola was Basque and born Iñigo de Loyola.

When Iñigo went to Rome his name was considered very strange, and so he decided to change it and chose Ignatius as an hommage to Saint Ignatius of Antioch (a saint from the 2nd century CE, so the name was ancient even in Iñigo de Loyola's time).

Names Iñigo and Ignatius have no relation beyond a similar look. In fact Iñigo is the Romance version of the Vascon name Eneko, just like the Arabic form was Wanko.

A thought from St. Ignatius of Antioch

Ignatius was was an early Christian writer and Patriarch of Antioch. While en route to Rome, where he met his martyrdom, Ignatius wrote a series of letters. Here is a short excerpt from his letter to the Ephesians: These are the beginning and the end of life: faith the beginning and love the end. When these two are found together, there is God and everything else concerning right living follows…
