Spiritual Exercises (Ignatius of Loyola)

The Spiritual Exercises, developed by Ignatius of Loyola, are a structured series of meditations, prayers, and reflections designed to deepen one’s relationship with God. Typically conducted over 30 days, they help individuals discern their life's purpose, grow in faith, and make thoughtful decisions. The exercises focus on understanding oneself, recognizing God's presence in daily life, and cultivating a more committed spiritual life. They are used by both individuals and groups to foster inner self-awareness and spiritual growth, emphasizing a personal, reflective approach to faith and moral development.
