The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola by Elder Mullan

Description

The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola is a structured four-week guide to Christian spiritual formation, translated from the original autograph by Father Elder Mullan, S.J. First published in 1914, this translation offers a devoted, faithful rendering of Ignatius’s own words — prioritising precision and authenticity over stylistic copy. Designed as a retreat manual rather than casual reading, it draws readers into deep meditation, prayer, discernment, and contemplation. Rooted in Ignatian spirituality, this classic work leads the retreatant through sequential themes — human sin, the life of Christ, the Passion, and the Resurrection — helping seekers to discern God’s will and foster spiritual freedom. Its clear structure, time-tested methodology, and immersive content have made it a keystone text in Jesuit formation and a powerful resource for laypeople seeking contemplative depth. For anyone exploring meditation manuals, Christian prayer books, or spiritual discernment guides, this edition stands as a timeless companion.
