The Spiritual Exercises

The Spiritual Exercises, developed by Saint Ignatius of Loyola, are a structured retreat designed to deepen one's relationship with God through prayer, reflection, and meditation. Typically conducted over 30 days, they guide individuals to examine their life, discern God's presence, and make thoughtful decisions aligned with their faith. The exercises aim to foster self-awareness, spiritual growth, and a sense of purpose by encouraging prayerful reflection on one's experiences, values, and choices in light of spiritual principles. They can be done individually or in group settings, serving as a powerful tool for personal transformation and renewed commitment to faith.
