The Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, are a classic work of Christian spirituality. They are a practical treatise aimed at the conquest of self, preparing and ordering the soul to remove all disordered attachments that separate us from God. It is a work of immense historical importance as a spiritual book, used throughout the centuries by many saints, clerics, and Christians in general. The Exercises are divided into four "weeks" during which the practitioner seeks an inner transformation through the contemplation of the Life, Passion, and Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ, as well as through the practice of ascetic and devotional exercises: prayer, contemplation, spiritual discernment, and more. They are especially useful for spiritual retreats, for keeping the temptations of the flesh in check, for reaffirming our will to follow Christ, or simply during moments in life that require a significant choice or spiritual deliberation. This edition includes, in addition to the Ignatian Exercises, a Practical Guide to help readers undertake the Exercises, as well as an appendix featuring key prayers in English and Latin.
In this book you will find:
“Man is created to praise, reverence, and serve God our Lord, and by this means to save his soul.” —St. Ignatius of Loyola
