Book Description

December 19, 2000
A reissue of a classic of the Christian text from the founder of the Jesuit Order.

The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyla 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."

5.0 out of 5 stars clear language, August 7, 2008
By 
anonymous (Miami Beach, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius (Paperback)
This book is much easier to understand than the other version of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius that I had previously read. The other version was written in such a convoluted manner that I had "translated" the rules of discernment into language that made sense to me. Thankfully, I had studied that previous version in a class with a very wise and learned person, who went to great pains to clarify the meanings. This version reminds me of the Rules of Discernment "water into a sponge" simile. It's easy to absorb and needs no explanation. I look forward to sharing it with my instructor. Peace.

4.0 out of 5 stars Edited beautifully, May 14, 2010

This review is from: The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius (Paperback)
I had heard so much about the "exercises of St. Ignatius". I read the reviews and decided on this one because one of the comments made was that the reading could be difficult but this edition was put into understandable text. That is accurate. I must add also that the Preface by Avery Dulles, S.J. was excellent reading and inspirational all on it's own! The Chronology of the Life of St. Ignatius of Loyola included in the book gives definition to much of the Saint's life and times. I would definitely recommend this purchase.
