The text of the spiritual exercises of Saint Ignatius

1 About this book

This new edition, with its accompanying introduction and commentary, is intended for use as a manual by those making, directing or studying the "Exercises". In the case of retreatants, their chief aim is to foster the experience of prayer, prayerful deliberation and cooperation with God's graces which St. Ignatius intended his Exercises to induce in those who are making them. A retreat, therefore, is a time predominantly of prayer rather than of study.

Good for readers who want: meditation, a true life story, spirituality, and a book they can read free online.
