Spiritual Exercises: July 20-23, 2021
The Spiritual Exercises are a silent retreat developed by St. Ignatius of Loyola to help refocus one’s life on what is most important (the glory and service of God) and to provide an opportunity to hear God speaking in the silence of one’s heart.
St. John Paul II spoke of the Spiritual Exercises saying that “the Christian is aided by the strong dynamism of the Exercises to enter into the ambit of the thoughts of God, of His plans in order to trust in Him, who is Truth and Love, and thus to make decisions committed to the following of Christ, considering clearly his gifts and his own responsibilities.”
