I feel prepared to start the spirtual exercises. Very deep intellectual but digestable

An invitation to be with Jesus that can't be turned down.

I was not familiar with all of the vocabulary but my heart was familiar with the stirred longing to experience the Presence of the Lord that came as I read. The changed lives of people from varied backgrounds who have been drawn by Love to these healing exercises were shared in a candid and moving interchange with the author. Theory and practice of the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises required more than one reading. I participated in short Ignatian retreats loving the use of Scripture to guide me to His Healing Presence. After reading Father John's "Mystical Healing" I scheduled the 30 residential retreat. If you love the Lord, this is a book and an experience you cannot ignor. The hope of change and the promise of a strengthened and renewed relationship with God are a cry of the soul that can be met here regardless of your denominational affiliation. This book may have been intended for the priest, minister, spiritual director, the college educated. However, those of us who sometimes need a dictionary to read but hunger for more of God will find this worth the effort. Knowing we can experience the Love and Healing power of Jesus is the gift Father John presents to us.
