112 Cura Personalis - The Intro * Convention Day 4

AMDG.  The great commandment to love your neighbor as yourself begins from a place of loving yourself well.  Today Everett Buyarski, Elizabeth Hoxie, and Therese Prudlo introduce the Ignatian education tenet of “cura personalis” or “care of the whole person”—a pragmatic yet profound discipline that forms students into the men and women they are designed to be.  The group discusses how repetition, rest, food, sleep, and exercise contribute to unity of mind, heart, and soul; encourages the idea that good is of God wherever it happens to appear; and suggests ways for families to reflect on what they give attention to and what sort of fruit it bears.
