The Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius

The Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius are a structured set of prayer and meditation practices designed to deepen one's relationship with God. They involve reflective prayers, contemplating Scripture, and imagining oneself personally in biblical scenes. The goal is to discern God's will, foster self-awareness, and cultivate spiritual growth through thoughtful reflection and prayer over a period of days or weeks. These exercises help individuals understand their purpose, discover their deepest desires, and make conscious, faith-guided decisions in everyday life.
