Holy indifference

Ignatian detachment: freedom from attachment to any created thing, so as to choose only what serves God.

Also: Ignatian indifference

Christian mysticism

Ignatius asks the retreatant to become indifferent to health or sickness, riches or poverty, honour or dishonour, long or short life, desiring only what leads to the end for which we are created. It is not apathy but freedom, comparable to detachment in other traditions.
