The spiritual exercises of Saint Ignatius of Loyola

In this unique handbook of Christian literature, the founder of the Jesuits offers a way of "e;raising the mind and heart to God."e; Saint Ignatius of Loyola avoids setting a formula for prayer, providing readers with an extensive variety of meditative themes.

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.
