  Spiritual Exercises Of Saint Ignatius Of Loyola

  $13.95

  St. Ignatius of Loyola wrote the Spiritual Exercises between 1522 and 1524, and today, nearly five centuries later, Jesuits in training are still required to study it and follow its precepts during their first
  year in the novitiate.

  Not designed to be read cover to cover in one sitting, this book is made up of daily meditations meant to be closely examined in isolation over a period of about four weeks, under the guidance of a spiritual director. Though The Spiritual Exercises have traditionally been read primarily by those training for the priesthood, in recent years increasing numbers of lay people and non-Catholics are discovering its joys and insights.

  This method – edited by Father Elder Mullan (1865-1925) and published in 1914-is essential for anyone interested in strengthening his or her
  faith and relationship with God. Spanish priest and spiritual philosopher SAINT IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA (1491-1556) has been described by Pope Benedict XVI as “a man of God,” “a man of
  profound prayer,” and “a faithful servant of the Church.” The principal founder of the Society of Jesus, Ignatius was canonized in 1622.

  Already a classic for those using or studying the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius of Loyola, this new revised and corrected edition of Fr Michael Ivens’s masterwork will be warmly welcomed.
