Fr Ignatius gives the first of five talks for the retreat on the Stages of the Spiritual Life at Bloomington, IN from Jan 18th to the 20th 2019. He gives a quick review of the outline for the course and then covers the first spiritual stages also called mansions according to St. Theresa of Avila and then the spiritual nights. He mentions:
Fundamentals of the Spiritual Life, love ascending
Knowing the stages helps us to keep going and not get discouraged when encountering difficulties.
Outer Court those who have not even begun the spiritual journey,
Spiritual journey is mysterious and complex but at the same time is simple, everyone is different, diversity.
Fear and Love, Love is better and becomes stronger with progress. Fear fades.
Body and Soul everyone is different and God wants us to become unique saints, but there will be similarities and thus
Outer Court includes lukewarm, lax Catholics, but most are in mortal sin.
Avoidance of Hell and damnation, revelations of Hell
Ignorance of spiritual things without malice
People are looking for a little bit of encouragement
Weak will
Preventing relapse
Weakness based on Temperaments
Cold and Indifference, actively ignoring helps and grace
Sin through Malice stubbornly and energetically sin and blaspheme. Need for prudence when trying to convert. Need for prayer and sacrifice to bring about a moral miracle.
Questions and Answers (Q&A), If no striving for spiritual progress then we will regress, Role of Mary, Souls of infants, Indifference vs Opposition to God, Miraculous Medals,

Thank God this was recorded so that the whole body of Christ could be blessed. Thank God for the different camera angles and the high quality voice recording so all of us out here can enjoy it’s artistic spiritual presentation.
Many of us watching these teachings on UA-cam are nourished. Thank you Father Ignatius. God bless you all
I'm so grateful for this spiritual guidance. Thank you so much Father. May God bless you all and your works 🙏
Father Ignatius, sorry for the little public present at your talk. God gives the growth. The more is the public watching the videos. You are a blessing!
I wonder if the little public present had to do with pre-COVID-19 or various other reasons? I myself had no idea that franciscanfriars even existed.Franciscanfriars showed up on my 📱 phone about a year ago; of which I 'm eternally grateful.God Bless Our franciscanfriars!! 🙏🙌🤗
I’ve been all over UA-cam looking for good videos on Carmelite spirituality and this is, finally, a good one. I am very surprised that the room isn’t standing room only.
Thank you Fr. Ignatius
The candle 🕯️ example is wonderful. Useful image for me, and I can share that even with my young children and my wife. Thanks for putting this retreat talk online.
This the kind of thing we need to hear in church.
Fr. Ignatius, wish more monks and priests like you to reach out for souls. I feel that Our Blessed Mother and Jesus are blessing and smiling upon you. Thank you👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Father, this is well done, informative and enlightening! Thank you so much for your diligent and focused presentation, God’s Blessings!!!
Thank you very much. Hello from France.
Thank you in advance for this divine presentation.
This has been very instructive, thank you.
We need more good, pious, faithful priests like this man.
the best explanation i've ever found about 'The Interior Castle'... Thank you & God bless you!
Thank you Father. Now i know that there are Night of Senses; and Night of Spirit. Please pray for me.
Wonderful! Thank You!
🙏🙏🙏🌹
Many thanks!!!
Ai, you speak Italian, I Portuguese, I feel at home.
This is what I've been struggling with indifference about God about heaven
"'Why am I here? ... For no reason?' .... **Really?** I think some quiet time will resolve those difficulties."
Actually laughed out loud
Fr Ignatius, can a soul go in and out of the dark night of the senses and the spirit several times in a row? If so, what would be God's purpose? To purge the soul of several imperfections? Does each dark night only purge a soul from one vice?
This is great. Is this from Saint John of the Cross?
Dear Father, so excite to have found this series on the Interior Castle, i just had a hard time understanding it. God Bless and Tell my Buddy Ft. Terrance hello
Salve Maria Immaculada I ask you to make available in Portuguese
How is it that all graces , even if from the Lord have to come from our Lady
This appears to me very confusing
God is not dependent on any creature, even Mary to give grace.
I have a lot of searching to do
Thank you for the content
Because Mary is the mediatrix of all graces. Sure, God could dispense graces through Himself, but He has chosen to do it through His mother.
What do you mean Father when you say "never assume that someone is in mortal sin"?. They are people that tell publicly what they have done. They say "I make an abortion, or I cheated my wife, or I have sex and they are not married", those are objectively mortal sins.
