	Introduction to the Spiritual Exercises (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The text of the Spiritual Exercises constantly evolved from the time Ignatius lived in Manresa around 1522 until he printed them in 1548, although the main lines were almost surely in place by the time he got to Paris in 1528 to begin graduate school.
		The Spiritual Exercises are not just Ignatius' experience; they encode the experience of many, many men and women who wanted to understand their experience of God and to respond to that experience.
		The Spiritual Exercises are a way to go through a prayer experience to discover through praying and Scripture and the Church's revelation what your own deepest and most authentic desiring is, and to find the courage to enact that.

	Spiritual Exercises in ZhurnalWiki
		Spiritual exercises can be best observed in the context of Hellenistic and Roman schools of philosophy.
		With the help of these exercises, we should be able to attain to wisdom; that is, to a state of complete liberation from the passions, utter lucidity, knowledge of ourselves and of the world.
		To the same extent that the philosophical life is equivalent to the practice of spiritual exercises, it is also a tearing away from everyday life.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius
		The book is composed of documents or spiritual exercises, reduced to the order most fitted to move the minds of the faithful to piety, as was remarked in the Brief of approval.
		The Gospel is the marrow of the "Exercises".
		The "Exercises" cannot have, simultaneously, a machiavellian and an anodyne character, or be rapt in the clouds and yet crawl upon the soil.

	How to do Spiritual Exercises: An Introduction
		It is important to take time for yourself each day to focus on your spiritual nature, to drop the physical concerns of the day, and once again to become aware that you are spiritual, that you are divine, that you are, through your Soul, an extension of God.
		Spiritual exercises (s.e.'s) are an active technique of bypassing the mind and emotions by using a spiritual tone or vibration to connect to the energy that flows from God through all existence.
		A recommended chant for spiritual exercises is the 'HU,' which is pronounced like the name Hugh or which can be said by pronouncing the sounds of the individual letters 'H' and 'U.' The HU tone is an ancient name of God and is a wonderful way of attuning to the higher vibrations of Spirit.

	Pope Pius XI - Mens Nostra - The Promotion of the Spiritual Exercises - 20 December 1929
		From that day, the use of the "Spiritual Exercises" if not under the same name and in the modern manner, at least in substance, "became familiar among the primitive Christians,"[19] as Saint Francis of Sales taught, and as appears from clear indications in the writings of the holy Fathers.
		For as the estimation of the "Exercises" grew continually greater in the Church, there was a marvellous multiplication of these houses, which may be called most opportune places of entertainment, set in the arid desert of the world, wherein the faithful of both sexes are separately recreated and refreshed with spiritual nourishment.
		It remains, Venerable Brethren, in order to guard and preserve the fruit of the "Spiritual Exercises" which we have been praising and to revive its salutary memory that we should earnestly recommend a pious custom which may be called a brief repetition of the "Exercises" namely a monthly or trimestrial recollection.

	National Catholic Reporter: Following in the footsteps of Ignatius - Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius
		The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius are being turned to by growing numbers of people who say the 450-year-old primer on prayer and contemplation offers a personal encounter with the divine that frees them to be more themselves.
		These formed the genesis of the spiritual exercises, which Ignatius was eager to share with others in his lifetime and which have since become a classic work in Christian spirituality.
		An intrinsic component to the exercises is a spiritual director.

		The fifteenth: He who is giving the Exercises ought not to influence him who is receiving them more to poverty or to a promise, than to their opposites, nor more to one state or way of life than to another.
		The eighteenth: The Spiritual Exercises have to be adapted to the dispositions of the persons who wish to receive them, that is, to their age, education or ability, in order not to give to one who is uneducated or of little intelligence things he cannot easily bear and profit by.
		The second: In the Spiritual Exercises, sins and their malice are understood more intimately, than in the time when one was not so giving himself to interior things.

	Spiritual Exercises
		There is a broad collection of activities that are often called "spiritual exercises." I have taught some of these in person, and in the pages reached from this one I try to do so again via this medium.
		Depending on what exercise you do, leaving it late may either put you to sleep or make it difficult to fall asleep, however; your reaction to these hazards will be personal and you may need to adjust your practice with experience.
		But the great bulk of these exercises originated with people engaged in enterprises they thought of as spiritual, as having to do with something essential to human nature but different somehow from human day-to-day endeavors (and, in their view, partaking of the holy).

	The Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius Loyola
		When Ignatius underwent his remarkable conversion he recorded the movements and reactions of his spiritual faculties in great detail, and was inspired to organize them in a fashion that would guide others undergoing the same profound experience of God that he had.
		His Exercises were not a series of pious sermons or edifying notes to be read; they were prescriptions that were meant to put a person in direct communication with God.
		The exercitant who undertakes the Exercises becomes a self-learner by incessant self-activity striving to dispose himself to God's grace in order to attain the end for which he was created.

	Chapter 5 Prayer During the Spiritual Exercises
		Other spiritualities have that emphasis, too; but in apostolic spirituality we are particularly aware of it because the decisions that the person is going to make in their discernments need to come out of a basis of accurate self-knowledge.
		The Spiritual Exercises is a training program to get a man or woman reflectively aware of his or her apostolic stance in the world and his or her union with God.
		In the Exercises one is analogously involved in the mystery of the birth of Christ.

		Going back to Boredom and the Religious Imagination, when I was reading the writings of Buddhist sages or Christian spiritual writers, their spiritual exercise was to focus on some object of devotion, whether that's God in Christianity, Judaism, or Islam, or some other object in another discipline.
		That is not the philosophy I found in Ueshiba, or in Gandhi, or in the Taoist sages, or in Christian literature on spiritual combat.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Ignatius Loyola
		It was at this time, too, that he began to make notes of his spiritual experiences, notes which grew into the little book of "The Spiritual Exercises".
		"The Spiritual Exercises" are written very concisely, in the form of a handbook for the priest who is to explain them, and it is practically impossible to describe them without making them, just as it might be impossible to explain Nelson's "Sailing Orders" to a man who knew nothing of ships or the sea.
		The stores of spiritual wisdom contained in the "Book of Exercises" are truly astonishing, and their author is believed to have been inspired while drawing them up.

		The Spiritual Exercises involve a process whose aim is to help retreatants reach inner freedom in responding freely to the personal call of Christ to help build the Kingdom of God.
		Flexibility is central to the Exercises, and the guide, attuned to the needs of each retreatant, helps to establish an appropriate pattern of prayer and reflection.

		The presentations (and the exercises and discussions that follow) deal either with the way we humans are "built" to operate or the way business usually operates.
		Just as Ignatius builds every exercise on experience, often with imagination as a help to entering into the experience of others, so, too, the first phase of the project, data gathering, calls for careful attention to the experience of others, as well as that of oneself.

	Stoic Spiritual Exercises (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The goal of this second category of exercise is to get used to cold, heat, hunger, frugal food, an uncomfortable bed, etc. In doing so, the student’s body becomes insensitive to pain, and consequently the soul itself is fortified and becomes courageous, disciplined and ready for action.
		However, I do not underestimate the value of the second category of exercise, for it is obviously difficult to resist different kinds of desires if, for instance, one never leaves the security of a cosy house or has always been accustomed to expensive food or the luxury of beautiful and warm clothes.
		This exercise is intimately linked to the discipline of desire, because when a Stoic acts he foresees every obstacle, and consequently nothing really happens against his will, and his moral intention remains unchanged.
