Are you a daydreamer? A storyteller? Do you have a kid whose imagination runs wild? That might not help you when you're stuck in class or work, but it may come in handy for your prayer life. People have used their imaginations in prayer since forever, and this episode invites you to practice a method of prayer popularized by a Spanish nobleman best known today as St. Ignatius of Loyola. St. Ignatius believed that God created the whole world, including the human imagination, for the purpose of drawing us closer to him. So join Nicole Smalley as she leads you through an exercise meant to give you the ability to put yourself into the story. Appropriately enough, it’s called imaginative prayer.
