Autorenporträt
Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491–1556), born Iñigo López de Loyola, was a Spanish Basque Catholic priest and theologian, who founded the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) and became its first Superior General. His notable contribution to religious literature is 'The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola,' a guide for spiritual development and discernment of God's will. Composed during 1522–1524, the Exercises reflect Ignatius's experiences during his conversion and convalescence after a serious injury sustained at the Battle of Pamplona. The manual is structured as a series of meditations, prayers, and contemplative practices, intended to be completed over a 28–30 day retreat, although it can be adapted for shorter periods. The Exercises embody the Ignatian spirituality with its emphasis on active engagement with the world through contemplation, discernment, and a profound commitment to serving God. Ignatius's literary style in the Exercises is methodical, practical, and focused on fostering a personal relationship with the divine. Today, it remains a cornerstone of Jesuit education and spiritual formation. His feast day is celebrated on July 31st, and his legacy continues through the numerous institutions, spiritual retreats, and educational foundations inspired by his teachings and spiritual exercises.
