What does it mean to extend love and welcome to those who feel most excluded, especially within a Church that has often been a source of pain?

In this conversation with Fr. James Martin, we’ll explore how spirituality can be more inclusive, especially for those who feel alienated by traditional religion. We’ll dive into the wisdom of Ignatian spirituality, discovering how it offers tools for seekers both inside and outside the Church, and why the story of Lazarus offers profound lessons about letting go and new beginnings.

Fr. Jim will also share insights from his experience in Pope Francis' Synod and his vision for a Church that embraces vulnerability and compassion, even in the face of resistance. How can we create spiritual spaces that welcome everyone? What does it mean to "come forth" into a new way of being?

This conversation is for anyone seeking hope, healing, and a more open-hearted way of connecting with the divine in a divided world.
