The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius are well known as a foundation of prayer & a keystone of spirituality in the Christian tradition. This new translation, with its introduction & commentary, is a manual for making, directing, or studying those Exercises. Its author is the internationally renowned translator of St. Ignatius's CONSTITUTIONS OF THE SOCIETY OF JESUS. This translation of the EXERCISES aims to express Ignatius's ideas & nuances altogether accurately, while at the same time adjusting his sometimes difficult Spanish text to the thought & speech patterns of English-speaking readers. It is sensitive to the requirements of gender-inclusive language. It also presents the EXERCISES with the recent division into internationally agreed-upon verse numbers. Hence it can be used with the electronic edition or data base of all of Ignatius's works expected to be published by the Institute of Jesuit sources in 1993. George E. Ganss, S.J., founder & for many years Director of the Institute of Jesuit Sources, is a linguist & theologian who is widely known for his work on the thought & writings of Saint Ignatius & the early members of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits).

Winner of a 2018 Catholic Press Association Award: Sacraments. (Second Place). In the first book to directly integrate the Twelve Steps with the practice of Catholicism, Scott Weeman, founder and director of Catholic in Recovery, pairs his personal story with compassionate straight talk to show Catholics how to bridge the commonly felt gap between the Higher Power of twelve-step programs and the merciful God that he rediscovered in the heart of the sacraments. Weeman entered sobriety from alcohol and drugs on October 10, 2011, and he's made it his full-time ministry to help others who struggle with various types of addiction to find spiritual wholeness through Catholic in Recovery, an organization he founded and directs. In The Twelve Steps and the Sacraments, Weeman candidly tackles the struggle he and other addicts have with getting to know intimately the unnamed Higher Power of recovery. He shares stories of his compulsion to find a personal relationship with God and how his tentative steps back to the Catholic Church opened new doors of healing and brought him surprising joy as he came to know Christ in the sacraments. Catholics in recovery and those moving toward it, as well as the people who love them will recognize Weeman's story and his spiritual struggle to personally encounter God. He tells us how: Baptism helps you admit powerlessness over an unmanageable problem, face your desperate need for God, and choose to believe in and submit to God’s mercy. Reconciliation affirms and strengthens the hard work of examining your life, admitting wrongs, and making amends. The Eucharist provides ongoing sustenance and draws you to the healing power of Christ. The graces of Confirmation strengthen each person to keep moving forward and to share the good news of recovery and new life in Christ. Weeman's words are boldly challenging and brimming with compassion and through them you will discover inspiration, hope, sage advice, and refreshingly practical help.

A profound call to Christian discipleship. An intensive course in Christian faith. A creative freedom to serve God that is deeply grounded in Scripture. These are ways to describe Sacred Listening, James L. Wakefield's adaptation of the classic Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius Loyola. Central to the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), the Spiritual Exercises is a manual used to direct a month-long spiritual retreat. Now adapting these time-honored Exercises specifically for Protestant Christians, James L. Wakefield encourages readers to integrate their secular goals with their religious beliefs and helps them reflect on the life of Jesus as a model for their own discipleship. Combining scholarship with classic forms of spirituality, Sacred Listening will interest church leaders and lay Christians who want to deepen their faith.
