We all have days where it seems like nothing goes right. Hopefully, we’ve also experienced days were everything we put our hand to works out perfectly. I guess this pattern of positive and negative is built into the fabric of our daily living. The more we accept it, the easier it is for us to Find God In All Things.
This understanding of recognizing God in all things is one of the key concepts of Ignatian Spirituality. Instead of using the terms positive and negative, St. Ignatius used desolation (negative) and consolation (positive). Both are movements of the spiritual life, and we will encounter them over and over again in our daily living.
