The Spiritual Exercises of
St. Ignatius of Loyola

The full experience of making The Spiritual Exercises
of St. Ignatius Loyola in the 30-day retreat format can
be life transforming. Pope Benedict described

The Spiritual Exercises as a “strong experience of God,
sustained by listening to his Word... which in a climate
of silence, prayer and by means of a spiritual guide,
offer the capacity of discernment in order to purify the
heart, convert one’s life to follow Christ, and fulfill one’s
own mission in the Church and the world.”
