| ignatius of loyola spiritual exercises: The Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius of Loyola Terence O'Reilly, 2020-10-20 In The Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius Loyola: Contexts, Sources, Reception, Terence O’Reilly examines the historical, theological and literary contexts in which the Exercises took shape. The collected essays have as their common theme the early history of the Spiritual Exercises, and the interior life of Ignatius Loyola to which they give expression. The traditional interpretation of the Exercises was shaped by writings composed in the late sixteenth century, reflecting the preoccupations of the Counter-Reformation world in which they were composed. The Exercises, however, belong, in their origins, to an earlier period, before the Council of Trent, and the full recognition of this fact, and of its implications, has confronted modern scholars with fresh questions about the sources, evolution, and reception of the work. |
| ignatius of loyola spiritual exercises: Spiritual Warfare and the Discernment of Spirits Dan Burke, 2020-01-09 Satan is always at work breeding sadness and anxiety while providing obstacles that prevent souls from making spiritual progress.

| ignatius of loyola spiritual exercises: The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Saint Ignatius, 2000-12-19 A classic Christian text from the founder of the Jesuit Order. The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola is the core work of religious formation for members of the Society of Jesus, the single largest religious order within the Roman Catholic Church. For four and a half centuries in many thousands of editions in all languages, The Exercises have embodied fundamental spiritual principles essential to authentic Christian living. The mystical insight informing Ignatius's own relationship with God—which he distilled in The Exercises—is that the divine love of God is providentially present in all the details of our existence. Here Ignatius shows how the faithful can be joined to God in all things, according to the Jesuit motto, Ad majorem Dei gloriam, For the greater glory of God. |

| ignatius of loyola spiritual exercises: A Simple Life-Changing Prayer Jim Manney, 2021-03-01 “A Simple, Life-Changing Prayer is a valuable and thoughtful book, and a very practical one, which can be put with confidence into the hands of anyone who wishes to learn to pray the Examen and to find the presence and action of God in their lives.” —Andrea Kelly, Thinking Faith Sometimes we can experience prayer as formal, dry, and repetitious. But what might happen if we discovered a simple prayer that changed all that? In A Simple, Life-Changing Prayer, Jim Manney introduces Christians to a 500-year-old form of prayer that dramatically altered his perception of prayer and the way he prayed. The prayer is the Examen, which St. Ignatius Loyola developed for the purpose of nurturing a reflective habit of mind that is constantly attuned to God’s presence. What makes the prayer so powerful is its capacity to dispel any notion that God is somewhere “up there,” detached from our day-to-day tasks and concerns. Instead, the examen leads us into a relationship with a God who desires to be personally caught up in the lives of those whom he created. |

| ignatius of loyola spiritual exercises: The Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius of Loyola Saint Ignatius of Loyola, 2012-09-11 In this unique handbook of Christian literature, the founder of the Jesuits offers a way of raising the mind and heart to God.

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. |

| ignatius of loyola spiritual exercises: The Ignatian Workout Tim Muldoon, 2009-01-26 Get Fit Spiritually We look at the world—and at God—in drastically different ways than our ancestors did, and yet the wisdom of a sixteenth-century Catholic saint perfectly suits our doubtful, antiauthoritarian, pluralistic age. St. Ignatius of Loyola believed that we could know God better by paying attention to his work in our lives, our experiences, our imagination, and our feelings. His Spiritual Exercises, an enduring masterpiece of spiritual insight, teaches us to grow spiritually by learning to respond in concrete, practical ways to this divine presence. The Ignatian Workout presents St. Ignatius’s wisdom in today’s language—as a daily program of “workouts” to achieve spiritual fitness, tailored to people with busy schedules. It is a program that shows us how to recognize and respond to a God who is already at work in us, inviting us into a deeper relationship and into richer lives of love and service. “A thoughtful, clever, and very practical introduction to Ignatian spirituality.” —J. A. Appleyard, S.J., vice president for University Mission and Ministry Boston College “The Ignatian Workout is a valuable contribution to contemporary writing on Ignatian spirituality. Muldoon does a fine job of illustrating just how relevant this spirituality is for today’s young adults.” —J.

| ignatius of loyola spiritual exercises: Thoughts of St. Ignatius Loyola for Every Day of the Year Saint Ignatius (of Loyola), 2006 St. Ignatius Loyola is one of the great shapers of the Catholic tradition. The Spanish soldier turned pilgrim for Christ bequeathed not only an extraordinary institutional legacy but also a distinctive spirituality that today nourishes men and women looking for ways to integrate faith and life. Informing Jesuit education, ministry, and training in communities around the world, Ignatian spirituality offers a practical vision-of engaged, responsible, discerning men and women striving to find God in all things-that resonates in this age of transition. Drawn from the vast body of Ignatius's writings, these 365 maxims help everyone reflect on the presence of God in daily life. First complied by the Jesuit scholar Gabriel Hevenesi in 1715 as Scintillae Ignatianae, these brief thoughts, supplications, prayers, directions, and other aphorisms were first published in an English translation in 1928 but have been unavailable in book form for many years.Organized into a daybook for contemplation, Ignatius's words serve as personal spiritual exercises. They touch on a range of topics, from affirmations of God's presence and Christ's love to practical advice for living a life of virtue in service to others. In this accessible gathering, anyone seeking a richer spiritual life will find words that inspire, challenge, enlighten, and transform.FROM THE BOOKA little holiness and great health of body does more in the care of souls than great holiness and little health.Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.The sharper you are at noticing other people's failings, the more apt you will be to overlook your own.Go and set the whole world on fire. This wonderful habit of devotional calendars can only change us for the better and often offer soothing advice for each day of the year. |
| ignatius of loyola spiritual exercises: The Autobiography of St. Ignatius Saint of Loyola Ignatius, 2023-11-08 In The Autobiography of St. Ignatius, one of the most significant spiritual autobiographies in Christian literature, Ignatius of Loyola recounts his remarkable journey from a soldier's life to that of a saintly founder of the Society of Jesus. Written in a reflective style, the text blends personal narrative with profound spiritual insights, marking it as a pivotal work of the Ignatian tradition. Engaging with themes of discernment, conversion, and divine grace, the autobiography acts as both a historical document and a guide for spiritual introspection amidst the broader context of the Counter-Reformation. Saint Ignatius, born in 1491, was a Basque nobleman whose initial pursuits in warfare were radically transformed after a severe injury led him to a profound spiritual awakening. His later experiences in prayer and reflection inspired the formation of the Jesuit order and the development of the Spiritual Exercises, which deeply influence Catholic spirituality. His keen understanding of human psychology and spirituality is reflected in his candid and introspective writing style, revealing insights into his inner struggles and triumphs. This profound account is highly recommended for readers interested in spiritual growth, Jesuit history, or the nature of personal transformation. The Autobiography of St. Ignatius not only offers a glimpse into the life of a revered saint but also invites readers to embark on their own journey of self-discovery and faith. |
| ignatius of loyola spiritual exercises: Ignatian Humanism Ronald Modras, 2010-06 Ignatian Humanism puts into perspective our contemporary search for a spirituality that responds both to our search for meaning and desire for God. -John W. Padberg, S.J., director, Institute of Jesuit Sources Modras integrates fascinating history, contemporary theology, and inspiring spirituality with consistent focus on central issues for our day. -Joann Wolski Conn, associate professor of religious studies, Neumann College A stunning book! Modras has profiled a number of Jesuit thinkers and activists as role models for our time-revitalizing humanism as a model for moderns. -Leonard Swidler, professor of Catholic thought and inter-religious dialogue, Temple University Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuit order, is one of a mere handful of individuals who has permanently changed the way we understand God. In this vividly written and meticulously researched book, Ronald Modras shows how Ignatian spirituality retains extraordinary vigor and relevance nearly five centuries after Loyola's death. At its heart, Ignatian spirituality is a humanism that defends human rights, prizes learning from other cultures, seeks common ground between science and religion, struggles for justice, and honors a God who is actively at work in creation. The towering achievements of the Jesuits are made tangible by Modras's vivid portraits of Ignatius and five of his successors: Matteo Ricci, the first Westerner at the court of the Chinese emperor; Friederich Spee, who defended women accused of witchcraft; Karl Rahner, the greatest Catholic theologian of the twentieth century; Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, the scientist-mystic; and Pedro Arrupe, the charismatic leader of the Jesuits in the years following Vatican II. |
| ignatius of loyola spiritual exercises: The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola Saint Ignatius Of Loyola, 2017-01-12 These Spiritual Exercises were written by Ignatius of Loyola, a theologian, priest and founder of the Society of Jesus, in the sixteenth century. They are Catholic prayers, reflections, meditations, mental exercises and directions designed to be read and carried out over a 28 to 30 day time period. These exercises are for Catholics and non-Catholics alike and grew out of Ignatius' own desire to seek God's will and to follow Christ no matter what the cost. Ignatius' intent was that the exercises would help others to discern God's will and to set the world on fire for Christ! |
| ignatius of loyola spiritual exercises: The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Illustrated Ignatius of Loyola, St. Ignatius of Loyola, 2021-07-14 The founder of the Jesuit order, Ignatius of Loyola, wrote a type of testaments for Catholics: Spiritual Exercises - a collection of Christian prayers and meditations that encourage reflection on God. The book serves as a practical manual: presenting a schedule of prayers, tests of conscience, prayers, and contemplative exercises for 30 days. Today, these practices serve not only Catholics but any person seeking to improve the state of one's spirit. Just as daily exercise improves the body of any person, so the daily spiritual exercises outlined by Ignatius of Loyola provide any dedicated person, whether he claims religion or not, with the tools needed to calm and expand their soul. However, despite their universality, it should be emphasized that Spiritual Exercises are based on Catholic dogma. |

| ignatius of loyola spiritual exercises: The Spiritual Exercises St. Ignatius of Loyola, Wyatt North, 2013-12-08 The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, (composed from 1522-1524) are a set of Christian meditations, prayers and mental exercises, divided into four thematic 'weeks' of variable length, designed to be carried out over a period of 28 to 30 days. They were composed with the intention of helping the retreatant to discern Jesus in his life, leading then to a personal commitment to follow it. Though the underlying spiritual outlook is Catholic, the exercises are often made nowadays by non-Catholics. The 'Spiritual Exercises' booklet was formally approved in 1548 by Paul III. To this day, the Spiritual Exercises remain an integral part of the Novitiate training period of the Roman Catholic religious order of Jesuits. Also, many local Jesuit outreach programs throughout the world offer retreats for the general public in which the Exercises are employed. |
| ignatius of loyola spiritual exercises: Ignatian Collection Ignatius of Loyola, 2020-09-15 Ad maiorem Dei gloriam (To the greater glory of God) is the motto associated with St. Ignatius of Loyola and the religious order that he founded, the Society of Jesus. Semper maior (Always more, always greater) is a pithier version of the adage. Both capture the spirit of Ignatius: restless, moving ever-onward, unsatisfied with the quality of his relationship with the Lord, always convinced that the divine love could be answered by a more expansive fidelity on his part. His passion to become a dashing courtier, a courageous and celebrated soldier, and an advisor to royalty became, under the influence of grace, a passion to serve Christ--all the way, holding nothing back. He effected this influence first through the establishment of the Jesuit order, which even in Ignatius' lifetime had become a powerful force in Europe and beyond and which today spans the globe; and second, through his masterpiece the Spiritual Exercises, which for the past five centuries has taught people how to commune with God and to find true freedom. This distinctive Word on Fire Classics collection offers a wide-ranging look at the life and writings of Ignatius of Loyola and those inspired by his Jesuit movement. An introduction by Bishop Robert Barron draws readers into the classic Spiritual Exercises. That's followed by a collection of poems from Gerard Manley Hopkins, helpfully annotated by Dr. Holly Ordway, and a selection of letters by the great Jesuit missionary St. Francis Xavier, introduced by Bert Ghezzi. The Ignatian Collection is a rich encounter with a pivotal player who changed the world and elevated the Church. |

| ignatius of loyola spiritual exercises: Personal Writings Ignatius of Loyola, Joseph Munitiz, 1996-06-27 One of the key figures in Christian history, St. Ignatius of Loyola (c. 1491-1556) was a passionate and unique spiritual thinker and visionary. The works gathered here provide a first-hand, personal introduction to this remarkable character: a man who turned away from the Spanish nobility to create the revolutionary Jesuit Order, inspired by the desire to help people follow Christ. His Reminiscences describe his early life, his religious conversion following near-paralysis in battle, and his spiritual and physical ordeals as he struggled to assist those in need, including plague, persecution and imprisonment. The Spiritual Exercises offer guidelines to those seeking the will of God, and the Spiritual Diary shows Ignatius in daily mystical contact with God during a personal strugg;e. The Letters collected here provide an insight into Ignatius' ceaseless campaign to assist those seeking enlightenment and to direct the young Society of Jesus. |
| ignatius of loyola spiritual exercises: The Twelve Steps and the Sacraments Scott Weeman, 2017 Winner of a 2018 Catholic Press Association Award: Sacraments. (Second Place). In the first book to directly integrate the Twelve Steps with the practice of Catholicism, Scott Weeman, founder and director of Catholic in Recovery, pairs his personal story with compassionate straight talk to show Catholics how to bridge the commonly felt gap between the Higher Power of twelve-step programs and the merciful God that he rediscovered in the heart of the sacraments. Weeman entered sobriety from alcohol and drugs on October 10, 2011, and he's made it his full-time ministry to help others who struggle with various types of addiction to find spiritual wholeness through Catholic in Recovery, an organization he founded and directs. In The Twelve Steps and the Sacraments, Weeman candidly tackles the struggle he and other addicts have with getting to know intimately the unnamed Higher Power of recovery. He shares stories of his compulsion to find a personal relationship with God and how his tentative steps back to the Catholic Church opened new doors of healing and brought him surprising joy as he came to know Christ in the sacraments. Catholics in recovery and those moving toward it, as well as the people who love them will recognize Weeman's story and his spiritual struggle to personally encounter God. He tells us how: Baptism helps you admit powerlessness over an unmanageable problem, face your desperate need for God, and choose to believe in and submit to God's mercy. Reconciliation affirms and strengthens the hard work of examining your life, admitting wrongs, and making amends. The Eucharist provides ongoing sustenance and draws you to the healing power of Christ. The graces of Confirmation strengthen each person to keep moving forward and to share the good news of recovery and new life in Christ. Weeman's words are boldly challenging and brimming with compassion and through them you will discover inspiration, hope, sage advice, and refreshingly practical help. |
| ignatius of loyola spiritual exercises: Retreat with the Lord John A. Hardon, 1993 Ignatius of Loyola compares the Spiritual Exercises to physical exercises like taking a walk, journeying on foot, and running. The Spiritual Exercises fortify the soul, enlighten the mind, and move the will to cooperate more fully with God. The Exercises that ignatius wrote in the sixteenth century are as popular and relevant today as they were when they were first introduced. In Retreat With the Lord, Father John Hardon provides an up-to-date guide for anyone who wants to do the Exercises themselves, in touch with a spiritual director by phone, correspondence, or in person. |
