Book Description
For almost five hundred years, the little book The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola has been an important source for Christian prayer-life. However, many Church ministers (priests, deacons, religious, and laypersons) do not have the time to make the full thirty-day Ignatian retreat with a spiritual director. This helpful resource seeks to lead a retreatant prayerfully into the heart of an Ignatian retreat by using contemplations and themes from the Spiritual Exercises as well as other meditations on the life of Jesus-but within an eight-day time frame. With a particular focus on ministry, both ordained and nonordained, the short chapters present mysteries from the life of Jesus and considerations that correspond to the dynamics of the Exercises. They represent a preparation for prayer, not to instruct but to move the imagination and hopefully the heart. An appendix offers additional scriptural texts. An 8 Day Ignatian Retreat for Priests, Religious, Deacons, and Lay Ministers enables busy and hardworking Church ministers to apply the Ignatian insights to their own interior life, which will result in rejuvenation and growth in their pastoral ministry.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Spiritual Exercises of an Eight Days Retreat But few people in the world understand what a spiritual retreat means. To separate one's self from family, friends and business in order to treat with God in holy solitude on the affairs of eternity, on the world which is to come, seems to the majority of men useful at most for religious. Have, then, people of the world not to think of religious truths? Are these subjects for the devout only? Can a man of the world say, "I am perfect, what more do you want of me?" Well, suppose he might say so: this conclusion would only be the result of a serious self-consideration. Now this serious self-consideration of one's soul is the work, the object of a spiritual retreat. Is it asking even the business man too much to lay aside for a few days his daily cares to settle the only necessary affair for which alone he is in the world; to see to and consider his eternal interests? Moreover, will not our very temporal affairs draw profit from the retreat? Is it not true that patience, freedom of mind, and self-control are great elements of success? Are there not moments in the lives of business men, when there is the greatest need of resignation and courage in order to avoid falling into despair? This courage, this confiding hope is the fruit of a spiritual retreat. It is true, we have at times in parishes the ordinary public mission exercises - excellent indeed as far as they go. But are the fruits thereof complete? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
