Spiritual ExercisesIgnatius of Loyola |

The Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola, composed 1522–1524, are a set of Christian meditations, contemplations, and prayers written by Ignatius of Loyola, a 16th-century Spanish priest, theologian, and founder of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). Divided into four thematic “weeks” of variable length, they are designed to be carried out over a period of 28 to 30 days. They were composed with the intention of helping participants in religious retreats to discern the will of God in their lives, leading to a personal commitment to follow Jesus whatever the cost. Their underlying theology has been found agreeable to other Christian denominations who make use of them and also for addressing problems facing society in the 21st century. FREE PDF EBOOK!

Love all of these, but sorely wish our communities were also mindful of such profound luminaries as Saint Isaak the Syrian, Saint Theophan the Recluse, Saint Maximos the Confessor, the Cappadocians, etc. May it be blessed.
