In this unique handbook of Christian literature, the founder of the Jesuits offers a way of &quote;raising the mind and heart to God.&quote; 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.

Quotes

  • Andres Garciahas quoted8 years ago
    in his prayers and other spiritual exercises he should beg and plead with our Lord God for the contrary; he should, that is, insist that he does not want that position or living or anything else unless His Divine Majesty regulate his desire and change his former attitude. Thus his motive for holding the one or the other shall be solely the service, honour and glory of His Divine Majesty.
  • Andres Garciahas quoted8 years ago
    if he is on the look-out for and is anxious to hold some position or living, not for the honour and glory of our Lord God, or for the spiritual benefit of souls, but for his own temporal advantage and interest, he should turn his ambitions in the opposite direction:
  • Andres Garciahas quoted8 years ago
    it is most fitting that he should use all his strength to strive towards the opposite of that which is the object of his improper desire
