What is an Ignatian spiritual exercise?

In the words of St Ignatius, a spiritual exercise is every way of examining one’s conscience, meditating, contemplating, praying vocally, praying mentally and other spiritual activities. The ‘other spiritual activities’ include exercises for love, freedom and decision-making.

Ignatian Spiritual Exercises employ many forms of prayer to engage me through different ways of knowing and feeling……

The First Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, offer simplicity and depth.  These sessions offer a selection of easily learned exercises in a structure that aligns one's desires with faith and service. The first session begins: "Inner Peace in Divine Love". There are 4 spiritual exercises to do each week that the retreatants do on their own and a small reflection on Sundays which can be done within the celebration of the Eucharist, or if you do not attend Mass, there is an alternative reflection.
