While this little book of reflections and prayers follows an Ignatian pathway, it begins with the wonderful words of a famous Dominican theologian, Edward Schillebeeckx: ‘People are the words with which God tells his story. The second part of Springboards is an extension of Part One and has a slightly different focus by offering some reflection pieces that might lead to prayer. The tried and tested user-friendliness of Ignatian spirituality in these pages will assist readers to understand that we have been created because God loves stories. Whether we are tellers or listeners, we are all caretakers of God’s story.
