The Spiritual Exercises Of St Ignatius Of Loyola Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola The Exercises were offered for ecclesiastical censure at Rome. The text submitted was not, however, the one which is here reproduced, but two Latin translations, one in more polished Latin - since called the Fulgate Version - and one a literal rendering. The opinions expressed on these versions, as also the formal approval of Paul III, are given here, as applying quite entirely to the text from which the translations were made. Vulgate Version We have read everything compiled in the volume: it has greatly pleased us and seemed remarkably conducive to the salvation of souls. The Cardinal of Burgos We grant leave to print the work; it is worthy of all praise and very profitable to the Christian profession. Philip, Vicar.

A reissue of a classic Christian text from the founder of the Jesuit Order. The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyla is the core work of religious formation for members of the Society of Jesus, the single largest religious order within the Roman Catholic Church. For four and a half centuries in many thousands of editions in all languages, The Exercises have embodied fundamental spiritual principles essential to authentic Christian living. The mystical insight informing Ignatius's own relationship with God—which he distilled in The Exercises—is that the divine love of God is providentially present in all the details of our existence. Here Ignatius shows how the faithful can be joined to God in all things, according to the Jesuit motto, Ad majorem Dei gloriam, "For the greater glory of God."

The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius are well known as a foundation of prayer & a keystone of spirituality in the Christian tradition. This new translation, with its introduction & commentary, is a manual for making, directing, or studying those Exercises. Its author is the internationally renowned translator of St. Ignatius's CONSTITUTIONS OF THE SOCIETY OF JESUS. This translation of the EXERCISES aims to express Ignatius's ideas & nuances altogether accurately, while at the same time adjusting his sometimes difficult Spanish text to the thought & speech patterns of English-speaking readers. It is sensitive to the requirements of gender-inclusive language. It also presents the EXERCISES with the recent division into internationally agreed-upon verse numbers. Hence it can be used with the electronic edition or data base of all of Ignatius's works expected to be published by the Institute of Jesuit sources in 1993. George E. Ganss, S.J., founder & for many years Director of the Institute of Jesuit Sources, is a linguist & theologian who is widely known for his work on the thought & writings of Saint Ignatius & the early members of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits).

A seminal influence in Christian spirituality since first publication in 1548, this contemporary translation by Michael Ivens, a noted authority on the text and author of the best-selling commentary 'Understanding the Spiritual Exercises', provides a definitive translation for the beginning of the twenty-first century.

The General Introduction is an intellectual and spiritual biography that sketches the fascinating steps by which, largely through mystical favors from God, Ignatius reached his inspiring worldview, with everything in it ordered to the greater glory of God.
