10/20/2023

A screening of the film 'Ignatius - the God Seeker' is scheduled for 4 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 2, in the Carlo Auditorium in Tegeler Hall.

A question-and-answer session with the film's director, Christof Wolf, S.J., will follow the screening. Wolf is a visiting professor in the Communication department. 

This animated documentary about the founder of the Jesuits reveals his inner quest for God,  and invites viewers to become a spiritual seeker yourself.

In his radical quest for God, Ignatius discovers in his mystical experience at the Cardoner river in Spain that God speaks to him not only in Scripture or Tradition, but is truly present in everything. Ignatius systematizes his spiritual experiences in his “Spiritual Exercises” into a path for all seekers of God.

To this day, the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises are not only the spiritual foundation of Jesuits worldwide, but have shaped the relationship with God of thousands of people.

The film “Ignatius - the God Seeker” takes up the essential insights and processes of the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises and translates them into a vivid visual language.
