Ignatian Spirituality for Spiritual Mentors

Ignatian Spirituality for Spiritual Mentors

After almost a month of meditations on the life and death of Jesus, sin, evil, and our response to Jesus’ invitation in our lives, the Spiritual Exercises concludes with a meditation on the Resurrection of Christ and then the Contemplation on the Love of God. This final and peak meditation wraps up all the experiences of God in our life and in salvation history and directs our view toward our real experience of communion with the divine: our identity in the divine.

Ignatian Spirituality for Spiritual Mentors

St. Ignatius had a conversion while recovering from a battle wound. He reflected on his living in sin, having lustful affairs, and living for superficial status and prestige. Once he felt called to living like Christ and the saints, he had a hard time not shaking off the guilt and put himself through harsh penances. Eventually his scruples went away, and his experiences inspired the First Week of the Spiritual Exercises.
