In the Spiritual Exercises, St Ignatius is always attentive to the spiritual importance of the body. He invites us to inhabit the gospel not only through our thoughts and feelings but also through our posture, gestures and senses. In this way we enter into a deeper relationship with Christ, who has become human for us. This Special Issue of The Way explores and celebrates the place of the body in our spiritual lives. It draws on the 2024 St Beuno’s conference, ‘The Body and Prayer’, to set prayer practices in a wider spiritual and physical context, embracing sickness and well-being, sexuality, the Eucharist and incarnation among other themes.
