    Here's an interesting book to read: The Jesuit Guide to Almost Everything, by Fr. James Martin, S.J. Its kind of a guidebook to life through an Ignatian lense.

    well... that and this...

    Magis (pronounced "màh-gis") is a Jesuit phrase that means "the more." It is taken from Ad majorem Dei gloriam, a Latin phrase meaning "for the greater glory of God." Magis refers to the philosophy of doing more, for Christ, and therefore for others. It is an expression of an aspiration and inspiration. It relates to forming the ideal society centered around Jesus Christ.
    The roots of the phrase are ascribed to St. Ignatius' exercise of doing more for God. He would encourage people around him during his time by asking: "What have I done for God? What am I doing for God? and What MORE can I do for Him?" -wikipedia

    If this is what you are talking about, I think it is an awesome idea!!

    If I were 20 years younger, not married and stayed in the education field, I would do this in a NY minute!!

    The Principle & Foundation of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola

    Man is created to praise, reverence, and serve God our Lord, and by this means to save his soul.

    And the other things on the face of the earth are created for man and that they may help him in prosecuting the end for which he is created.

    From this it follows that man is to use them as much as they help him on to his end, and ought to rid himself of them so far as they hinder him as to it.


    For this it is necessary to make ourselves indifferent to all created
    things in all that is allowed to the choice of our free will and is not
    prohibited to it; so that, on our part, we want not health rather than
    sickness, riches rather than poverty, honor rather than dishonor,
    long rather than short life, and so in all the rest; desiring and choosing only what is most conducive for us to the end for which we are created.
