 The Spiritual Exercises are taken from the popular little book of the same title by Saint Ignatius of Loyola. The excercises themselves are a compilation of instructions, admonitions, consolations, prayers, and meditations placed in an order well suited to move one's mind to faithfilled piety. The sources of this little book are the Sacred Scriptures and the experiences of spiritual life. Centuries of experience have proven the effectiveness of the Spiritual Exercises as an excellent means of conversion and sanctity.
