The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius

The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius are a structured series of retreats and reflections aimed at deepening one’s relationship with God. Developed by St. Ignatius of Loyola, they involve prayer, meditation, and contemplation over 30 days or in guided sessions, helping individuals discern their values, identify distractions, and find greater purpose and spiritual clarity. The Exercises encourage self-awareness, gratitude, and a commitment to living more authentically according to one's faith, fostering interior growth and a more intentional, meaningful spiritual life.
