Synopsis

St Ignatius of Loyola underwent a spiritual experience while convalescing after the Battle of Pamplona in 1521, and went on to found the Society of Jesus, better known today as the Jesuits. His spiritual exercises - a compilation of meditations and contemplative methods - are based on the Saint's own experiences of repentance and pious practices. The book is divided into four weeks of reflection and four key meditations - on the Kingdom of God, the Two Standards, the Three Classes of Men, and the Three Modes of Humility - and has at its center the emulation of Christ. One of the great masterpieces of Christian spirituality, this work continues to offer some of the most accessible and insightful guidance for going on retreat, forming a practical manual for realising the soul's deepest yearnings.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The cares of the pastoral charge of the whole flock of Christ entrusted to Us and Our devotion to the glory and praise of God impel Us to embrace what helps the salvation of souls and their spiritual profit, and cause Us to hearken to those who petition Us for what can foster and nourish piety in the faithful. So Our beloved son, Francis de Borgia, Duke of Gandia, has lately brought it to Our notice that Our beloved son Ignatius de Loyola, General of the Society of Jesus, erected by Us in Our beloved City and confirmed by Our Apostolic authority, has compiled certain instructions, or Spiritual Exercises, drawn from Holy Writ and from experience in the spiritual life, and has reduced them to an order which is excellently adapted to move piously the souls of the faithful, and that they are very useful and wholesome for the spiritual consolation and profit of the same. This the said Duke Francis has come to know by report from many places and by clear evidence at Barcelona, Valencia and Gandia.
