Toward Greater Freedom: Retreat Information
Over 400 years ago, St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits, went through a profound series of experiences that changed his life forever. In his own way, he let God move more freely in his life and explicitly shape his will, mind, heart, and actions. Ignatius felt moved to share those experiences with others, so he kept good notes on what helped and how. Those notes became The Spiritual Exercises, the heart of Ignatian spirituality, shared by Jesuits and lay persons the world over. It is the source of the spirit that resides and motivates the Society of Jesus and the Ignatian Spirituality Institute. The experience of the Spiritual Exercises is how we become men and women for others.
