St. Ignatius: Cura Personalis (Download)
In this two-day lesson, students will learn about the Ignatian concept of cura personalis—care for the whole person. When God places us in relationships with others, He expects us to love those people as part of loving Him. Likewise, we are called to take care of our own selves, body and soul.
The first lesson in this two-part series challenges students to care for themselves by caring for their whole person (heart, soul, mind, and body). The second lesson teaches students the importance of cura personalis toward others and debunks the lie of the “you do you” mentality.
Through readings, discussion, and thought-provoking activities, students will come to understand the importance of caring for a person, both body and soul.
