IN ADITTION TO YOUR STUDIES

WALK WITH SPIRIT

The University of Deusto, an institution of the Society of Jesus, assumes the mission of serving society through a specifically university-based contribution and from a Christian vision of reality.

A FAITHFUL COMMUNITY

We believe that faith is an important dimension in personal development. That is why we promote activities to live, share and grow in the experience of faith. Based on the Jesuit tradition and Ignatian spirituality, we offer experiences and activities to deepen your faith and celebrate life with others.

WHICH TRANSFORMS

The first step in transforming the world is to transform oneself. Our inspiration is Ignatian spirituality, which engages in dialogue with the world and with those who are different. Activities such as Meditation Workshops, Spiritual Exercises, and Pilgrimage Experiences will allow you to explore your inner life in depth and open your heart.

LIVING THE IGNATIAN WAY

MAG+S Community

It is a network that supports groups of young people in sharing and deepening their faith and life experiences. Through group meetings, events, and celebrations, you connect with peers, explore life together, and embark on a journey that helps you seek and find God in everyday life. The network also encourages commitment to justice and supports each young person in discovering their place in the Church and the world, using tools for vocational discernment.

In Bilbao, we are organised into four or five groups, each consisting of 10–12 people. Most of us are studying, although some of us have already started working.

If you want to learn more about MAGIS, you can find additional information on the website or visit the Deusto Campus Faith office on the Bilbao campus.

  • When: Wednesdays at 20:15 
  • Where: Arrupe Etxea, Calle Padre Lojendio, 2.
  • Important: prior interview required.

Deusto and MAG+S would like to invite you to the MAGIS Workshops weekend from 12 (Friday afternoon) to 14 (Sunday after lunch) February in Loiola (Azpeitia, Gipuzkoa). We offer three workshops:

  • WORKSHOP 1: ¿Who am I and what am I looking for in life?
    For those who would like a first introduction to Ignatian spirituality and prayer. We will explore what prayer is, different ways of praying, the examen of prayer, the examen of the day, and more. It is a proposal with practical value that can be applied to one’s own life.
  • WORKSHOP 2: Body and Spirit
    This workshop offers a path towards reconciling and bringing together body and spirit, two inseparable dimensions of our human experience. Drawing on Ignatian spirituality, we learn to listen to the body as a place of spiritual experience and to recognise how our desires, resistance, tiredness and deepest longings are expressed through it.
  • WORKSHOP 3: Decision-making
    Making decisions in the Ignatian way, discernment, interior movements, consolation and desolation, the examen. It’s designed for those of you who are at a clearer crossroads: finishing your undergraduate degree, choosing a master’s programme, or starting your first job.

Further information and contact details: pastoral@deusto.es

Through MAG+S Pastoral, we invite young people aged 18 to 30 to celebrate Easter in community, embracing Ignatian spirituality alongside fellow university students from different cities.

Easter offers opportunities to pray, take action, share, and celebrate the faith that unites us as a Church and as an Ignatian community. We want to celebrate these important days of our faith together.
