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).
The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius remain an abiding source of
inspiration and wisdom for Christians in the modern day who wish to
be closer oriented to God and his Kingdom. Ignatius of Loyola was
initially a Spanish page in service of a knight, who later became a
knight himself. Ambitious and eager for fame and glory, Loyola was
gravely injured when a cannonball collided with his legs, leaving
his left leg multiple fractures. The surgery of the time was crude;
he would walk again, but with a permanent, pronounced limp. As he
lay convalescing, Loyola experienced a series of visions. Being as
the hospitals of the era were run by religious orders he spent
weeks bedridden, reading the many texts concerning Jesus Christ and
the saints. This experience buoyed and inspired Loyola to lead his
life in the same fashion as the heroic saints; living to spread the
holy word and undertake great pilgrimages.

St. Alphonsus writes: "a single bad book will be sufficient to
cause the destruction of a monastery." Pope Pius XII wrote in 1947
at the beatification of Blessed Maria Goretti: "There rises to Our
lips the cry of the Saviour: 'Woe to the world because of scandals
' (Matthew 18:7). Woe to those who consciously and deliberately
spread corruption-in novels, newspapers, magazines, theaters,
films, in a world of immodesty " We at St. Pius X Press are calling
for a crusade of good books. We want to restore 1,000 old Catholic
books to the market. We ask for your assistance and prayers. This
book is a photographic reprint of the original. The original has
been inspected and some imperfections may remain. At Saint Pius X
Press our goal is to remain faithful to the original in both
photographic reproductions and in textual reproductions that are
reprinted. Photographic reproductions are given a page by page
inspection, whereas textual reproductions are proofread to correct
any errors in reproduction.
