​St. Ignatius "invites a person to pray to come to know Christ more intimately, love him more ardently and follow him more closely.”
​“We must speak to God as a friend speaks to his friend, servant to his master; now asking some favor, now acknowledging our faults, and communicating to Him all that concerns us, our thoughts, our fears, our projects, our desires, and in all things seeking His counsel. “  St. Ignatius of Loyola
