"The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius: Adapted to an Eight Days Retreat" by Ignatius of Loyola is a set of Christian meditations composed between 1522-1524. This foundational spiritual text guides participants through prayers and contemplations designed to discern God's will in their lives. Divided into four thematic "weeks," the exercises emerged from Ignatius's own mystical visions during his convalescence in Manresa. Originally created for 28-30 day retreats, they became the cornerstone of Jesuit spirituality, teaching practitioners to distinguish between good and evil spirits while deepening their commitment to follow Jesus.
