    About this ebook

    In this unique handbook of Christian literature, the founder of the Jesuits offers a way of "raising the mind and heart to God." Saint Ignatius of Loyola avoids setting a formula for prayer, providing readers with an extensive variety of meditative themes. Although originally intended for those making a retreat under the direction of an experienced master, the spiritual exercises have since become much more widely known and used, and they offer an excellent resource for private devotions.

    Saint Ignatius of Loyola

    Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491–1556) was the founder and Superior General of the religious order of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), whose aim is to serve the Pope as missionaries, bound by a vow of special obedience to the Pontiff. Ignatius is also known for recording his method in “The Spiritual Exercises,” a simple set of meditations, devotions, and other mental challenges, first published in 1548. Elevated to sainthood on March 12 1622, his feast day is celebrated on July 31st.

      What The New Testament Doesn’t Say

      May 20, 2019

      When professing Christians deny Biblical creation, we often point them to the Words of Jesus and the New Testament authors, which clearly affirm their own belief in Biblical creation. Because Christians are, by definition, people who believe what Jes

      The Exercises are a major milestone of Christian spirituality, and one of the greatest prayer guides of all time. I wouldn't recommend reading them on your own if you can avoid it, though - the book was meant as a manual to help priests instruct others and isn't really intended to be read as such.
    • 4/5
      Very interesting book - a form of Christian meditation with the focus being on the mercy of God, as well as focusing on aspects of his life and applying the most relevant parts to one's own life. Although I do not necessarily agree with everything the author says, his points about self-analysis and finding goodness still ring true to many non-Catholics.
    • 4/5
      These spiritual exercises give the casual reader a close look at the life of a monk. I was impressed with the many activities which connect the worshipper to God.
