About this Plan

Imaginative Contemplation

Saint Ignatius (www.PrayAsYouGo.com) believed that God could speak to us just as clearly in our imagination as through our thoughts and our memories. In his Spiritual Exercises he writes of contemplation as a very active way of engaging your feelings, emotions, and senses to place your self in the scene described. Listen to the events of Jesus’ life described in these reflections. Pay attention to the details: sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and feelings of the event. Lose yourself in the story.
