A daily devotional with the words of St Ignatius Loyola especially
for those who have limited time in their lives. Take and meditate
on a thought during the course of the day.
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).

St. Ignatius Loyola is one of the great shapers of the Catholic
tradition. The Spanish soldier turned pilgrim for Christ bequeathed
not only an extraordinary institutional legacy but also a
distinctive spirituality that today nourishes men and women looking
for ways to integrate faith and life. Informing Jesuit education,
ministry, and training in communities around the world, Ignatian
spirituality offers a practical vision-of engaged, responsible,
discerning men and women striving to find God in all things-that
resonates in this age of transition. Drawn from the vast body of
Ignatius's writings, these 365 maxims help everyone reflect on the
presence of God in daily life. First complied by the Jesuit scholar
Gabriel Hevenesi in 1715 as Scintillae Ignatianae, these brief
thoughts, supplications, prayers, directions, and other aphorisms
were first published in an English translation in 1928 but have
been unavailable in book form for many years. Organized into a
daybook for contemplation, Ignatius's words serve as personal
spiritual exercises. They touch on a range of topics, from
affirmations of God's presence and Christ's love to practical
advice for living a life of virtue in service to others. In this
accessible gathering, anyone seeking a richer spiritual life will
find words that inspire, challenge, enlighten, and transform. FROM
THE BOOK "A little holiness and great health of body does more in
the care of souls than great holiness and little health."Never put
off till tomorrow what you can do today." "The sharper you are at
noticing other people's failings, the more apt you will be to
overlook your own." "Go and set the whole world on fire."
This is a new release of the original 1958 edition.
This account of the life of St. Ignatius, dictated by himself, is
considered by the Bollandists the most valuable record of the great
Founder of the Society of Jesus. The editors of the Stimmen Aus
Maria Laach, the German review, as well as those of the English
magazine, The Month, tell us that it, more than any other work,
gives an insight into the spiritual life of St. Ignatius. Few works
in ascetical literature, except the writings of St. Teresa and St.
Augustine, impart such a knowledge of the soul. To understand fully
the Spiritual Exercises, we should know something of the man who
wrote them. In this life of St. Ignatius, told in his own words, we
acquire an intimate knowledge of the author of the Exercises. We
discern the Saint's natural disposition, which was the foundation
of his spiritual character. We learn of his conversion, his trials,
the obstacles in his way, the heroism with which he accomplished
his great mission. This autobiography of St. Ignatius is the
groundwork of all the great lives of him that have been written.
Bartoli draws from it, Genelli develops it, the recent magnificent
works of Father Clair, S.J., and of Stewart Rose are amplifications
of this simple story of the life of St. Ignatius. The Saint in his
narrative always refers to himself in the third person, and this
mode of speech has here been retained. Many persons who have
neither the time, nor, perhaps, the inclination, to read larger
works, will read, we trust, with pleasure and profit this
autobiography. Ignatius, as he lay wounded in his brother's house,
read the lives of the saints to while away the time. Touched by
grace, he cried, "What St. Francis and St. Dominic have done, that,
by God's grace, I will do." May this little book, in like manner,
inspire its readers with the desire of imitating St. Ignatius. THE
EDITOR. Easter, 1900. College of St. Francis Xavier, New York.
