The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola
Is it time to take your spiritual pulse, re-orient yourself to your Creator, and seek His guidance to live your faith more seriously? The Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius of Loyola outline the rigorous self-examination and spiritual meditations St Ignatius set forth.
Readers will learn how to make a new beginning on the path to holiness, repenting of their sins and attaining freedom from Satan's power. Though St Ignatius wrote The Spiritual Exercises as a handbook for a four week guided retreat, this edition contains step by step explanations suitable for independent use over any time period.
This is the original TAN edition now with updated typesetting, fresh new cover, new size and quality binding, newly annotated quotations from Jesuit spiritual masters with self-guided journal exercises, a full restoration of the translation to improve readability, a fresh historical preface, and the same trusted content.
As the only English-language edition of the Exercises currently available in hardcover with a ribbon on the market, this reverent updating makes the perfect gift idea for all admirers of Ignatius Loyola, the soldier-saint.
Spiritual Warfare And The Discernment Of Spirits
Satan is always at work breeding sadness and anxiety while providing obstacles that prevent souls from making spiritual progress. In this concise yet powerful book, author Dan Burke presents the venerable, time-tested wisdom of Catholic mystics to help you understand the influence of the Enemy on your mind and heart, and the tactics you need to combat him.
With St. Ignatius as his guide, Burke presents here an indispensable, authoritative manual for engaging in daily battle with the Adversary—combat that is both inevitable and winnable. Burke will help you recognize the ebbs and flows of consolation and desolation, and distinguish between the voices of God and of Satan. Best of all, you’ll come to see the spiritual life not as a science to be learned, but as an intuitive art to be practiced as you move with increasing success from habitual sin to sanctity.
The battle for our souls is unavoidable. The saints won theirs by learning how to be spiritual warriors and by recognizing that we become stronger through battle and grow weaker from avoidance. With this book as your guide, you’ll grow in strength and contentment as you learn:
• How to take captive every negative thought and make it obedient to Christ
• St. Ignatius’s revelations exposing how the Devil seeks to influence us
• The Paradigm of Ascent and the Five Steps to Sanctity
• The three ways you can discern “Good Spirits” from “Bad Spirits”
• The three principal causes of desolation—and what you must do when it afflicts your soul
• Proven methods for moving away from sin and toward self-giving love of God and neighbor.
