You’ve heard it, you’ve been told it, you may have even said it on occasion. “Everything happens for a reason.” At first glance, this bit of pop theology may sound like the celebrated Ignatian ideal of “Finding God in all Things.” But how similar are these ideas, really? What do they suggest about God, about our relationship with God, and about how we make sense of our own story?

St. Ignatius Catholic Community will hold a lecture on these very issues on Monday, April 4 at 7:30 PM with Mr. Timothy O’Brien, S.J.

O’Brien is a Jesuit scholastic of the Maryland Province. After completing a master’s degree in theology at the University of Chicago Divinity School, he began teaching at Loyola University Maryland in 2014. Tim is a writer and editor at The Jesuit Post.

Join us in this season of Easter as we consider the mysteries of suffering and resurrection — and making meaning of both — in our own lives.

There is no cost for this event.
