SPIRITUAL CONVERSATION

Both an original work by, and a tribute to, one of the most distinguished English - language experts on the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius Loyola, this book combines a series of essays exploring key terms used by Ignatius and a collection of reminiscences of Michael Ivens. The glossary of distinctive Ignatian terms that many find elusive or recondite is particulary useful. An understanding of such terms provides new avenues of approach and also displays the theological and spiritual substructure of the Exercises.

A spiritual conversation is any conversation where God is encountered, from spiritual direction and the Ignatian Exercises themselves to a casual exchange that opens on to deeper meaning and grace. Experience that moment when wonder strikes, energy is found and new horizons are revealed.
