Abstract

How God communicates to man? How man can discover this communication and take care of it? Can man be free if he discovers what God wants from him? Can a man reject God’s will? Can God induce a human answer? In this paper we will approach to the idea of God’s self communication. In order to do so, we are going to get into the experience of St Ignatius of Loyola (founder of the Jesuits and the Ignatian spirituality inspiring). We will discover a loving God that communicates to man, invites him and «provoke» his answer as a free creature.
