Make a Retreat.
Ignatian spirituality emphasizes finding God in daily life. But once in a while it is important to get away to spend quiet time with God — an evening, a day, a weekend, a week.
Find the retreat that’s best for you on our calendar of retreats offered by OIS and our partners across the Jesuit network.
The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola
The Spiritual Exercises are a compilation of meditations, prayers, and other contemplative practices.
The object is to help people become more attentive, open, and responsive to God. The Exercises are the foundation of Ignatian spirituality.
