It is the dream of every publisher to hit upon a project that will win praise for contributing to the intellectual and cultural life. Theology Today Ignatius of Loyola: Spiritual Exercises and Selected Works edited by George E. Ganss, S.J. with the collaboration of Parmananda R. Divarkar, S.J., Edward J. Malatesta, S.J., and Martin E. Palmer, S.J. preface by John W. Padberg, S.J. I close by asking God through his infinite goodness to give us the perfect grace to know his most holy will and fulfill it completely. May it please the Sovereign Goodness that everything be ordered to his holy service and continual praise. Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556) September 27, 1990 marks the 450th anniversary of the foundation of the Society of Jesus in 1540, and the year 1991 brings the 500th anniversary of the birth of its founder, St. Ignatius of Loyola. In these circumstances the present volume will contribute to the study of Ignatius' charism and of the ministries he initiated-in Christian education, foreign missions, and other fields. It presents his four major writings: the Autobiography and Spiritual Exercises in their entirety, and his Spiritual Diary and Constitutions of the Society of Jesus in selections so chosen as to give an overview of each work. It also offers ten samples of his almost 7,000 letters. Ample explanations are given in the introductions and commentaries by way of notes. The General Introduction is an intellectual and spiritual biography that sketches the fascinating steps by which, largely through mystical favors from God, Ignatius reached his inspiring worldview, with everything in it ordered to the greater glory of God. In his Exercises we find a synthesis of his chief spiritual principles, and in his Constitutions an example of his organizational ability. The Autobiography tells of his mystical illuminations and gifts, and the Spiritual Diary lets us peer deeply into his heart in his most intimate dealings with God. His writing reveals many facets of the warm personality of this influential saint. †

5.0 out of 5 stars rfom emptiness to Divine Union
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2014
Verified Purchase
The Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius give a 4 step structure to the experience of Mystic Union, that is valid for all spiritual systems. Evelyn Underhill, Oxford's 1st Woman Chair of Spirituality, uses these 4 stages in her classis work "Mysticism" to great effect. I keep this simple volume of Ignatius on my desk at all times, it is right here in front of me as I write this. The key to all muystic experience, in classic Greek terms, is from "purgation" (Via Purgativa, cleansing from all selfishness and negative judgments), sacred image or via kataphatica, no image or via apophatica, and only then "union." Must read, a book useful for all faiths.

5.0 out of 5 stars Igntius de Loyola
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2013
Verified Purchase
This book is superlative in every possible manner. The editors (Classics of Western Spirituality) are always true to form, never changing the essence of the spiritual writer concerned. I have not finished reading this book, but have only started. Yet I know one thing for sure: if you are serious about advancing in your faith in the Christian religion, you will find this book an invaluable companion in your endevour. It receives the 5 stars because it contains stuff that will redirect your life in the most unforseen ways.
