St. Ignatius of Loyola wrote the Spiritual Exercises between 1522
and 1524, and today, nearly five centuries later, Jesuits in
training are still required to study it and follow its precepts
during their first year in the novitiate. Not designed to be read
cover to cover in one sitting, this book is made up of daily
meditations meant to be closely examined in isolation over a period
of about four weeks, under the guidance of a spiritual director.
Though The Spiritual Exercises have traditionally been read
primarily by those training for the priesthood, in recent years
increasing numbers of lay people and non-Catholics are discovering
its joys and insights. This edition-edited by Father Elder Mullan
(1865-1925) and published in 1914-is essential for anyone
interested in strengthening his or her faith and relationship with
God. Spanish priest and spiritual philosopher SAINT IGNATIUS OF
LOYOLA (1491-1556) has been described by Pope Benedict XVI as "a
man of God," "a man of profound prayer," and "a faithful servant of
the Church." The principal founder of the Society of Jesus,
Ignatius was canonized in 1622. His writings include Letters and
Instructions of St. Ignatius Loyola 1 (1524-1547).
