Living the Story
The Ignatian Way of Prayer and Scripture Reading
by Joe Cassidy
Edited and Introduced by Ann Loades
Poetry and story can tell the deepest truths about who we are as
human beings. In Living the Story, Joe Cassidy explores how
Ignatian spirituality can help us discover the power of story in
the scriptures.
An essential tool in spiritual direction and personal prayer,
Ignatian spirituality has helped readers imaginatively engage with
the Bible for more than 500 years.
Joe Cassidy outlines the Ignatian method of prayer and scripture
reading and offers his on beautiful reflections on Bible passages,
each the result of prayerful and imaginative contemplation.
A Jesuit priest who became an Anglican, one of Joe's passions
was to share the spiritual riches of his Ignatian tradition with
the Church of England. He completed most of this work before his
death. It has been finished by Ann Loades, who has drawn on his
other unpublished writings to complete this work.
Joe Cassidy was a Jesuit priest in Canada, but moving to England
to become a lecturer in ethics and spirituality, he became an
Anglican and served as a priest in the Diocese of Salisbury and
subsequently as Principal of St Chad's College Durham. He died in
2015. Ann Loades is Professor Emerita of Divinity at the University
of Durham and a respected author.
