St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits, is famous for his teachings about decision making. For Ignatius, a dedicated follower of Jesus Christ, decisions ought to be made for “The Greater Glory of God” rather than for personal gain, although God’s divine Knowledge, Goodness, and Love make any decision conforming to his will the best possible for all involved. To enable us determine his divine intentions, God has sent the Holy Spirit to be our guide, though understanding the Spirit is a challenge given the “small still voice” with which he communicates (1 Kg 19:11-12). Understanding the Spirit is difficult also because God’s preferences differ radically from the natural preferences with which we begin our human existence, “As high as the heavens are above the earth, are my ways above your ways” (Is 55:9). The initial task in decision making thus becomes to treat my personal preferences as information rather than as sufficient grounds for making a decision. The demotion of personal preference, in deference to the divine will, Ignatius calls “Indifference.” “Indifference” indicates one’s freedom in wanting to choose God’s will over her own; it does not indicate a lack of passion. One’s passion for implementing decisions will in fact increase since those decisions will now be part of God’s eternal plan for the salvation of souls. God’s invitation to “indifference”, and its challenges, are well illustrated by the story of the rich man who went away sad rather than sell his possession for the sake of God’s Kingdom (Mt 19:16-30).
