The Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius of Loyola

By Ignatius of Loyola, Pedro de Ribadeneyra, St. Ignatius

Book Overview

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.

very satisfied

This book is the ultimate authentic guide for using the spiritual exercises of Ignatius within the context of a retreat. I am planning on doing just that.

A guide to the inner soul. This is not a work that is easy to grasp, which makes it all the more a blessing.
