Coaches often encourage their players to give 110%, which simply means to always strive for more. This idea of wanting to do more, or magis (MAH-jiss) in Latin, was at the heart of St. Ignatius of Loyola’s spirituality: we should always strive to do more “for the greater glory of God.” In today’s episode of Pop-Up Catechesis, we prepare for the Feast of St. Ignatius on July 31 by exploring the concept of magis.

Joe, I’ve enjoyed your “Pop-Up Catechesis videos this summer. Our parish Summer Intensive Faith Formation was re-imagined as a family-based model, and your videos have been a wonderful way to coach parents to be their child’s “first and best” catechists. Thank you!
So glad to hear that, Jeanne! I had hoped people would find these videos helpful for working with families!
