Publisher's summary

Experience the power of the Spiritual Exercises through this inspiring retreat.

The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits (Society of Jesus), are a tried and true method for growth in the spiritual life. Countless men and women have found inspiration in the exercises throughout the centuries. Simply reading the exercises, however, is of little benefit. They are like a manual or how-to book - they are not meant to be read but made. Now, you can join renowned spiritual speaker Fr. James Kubicki, SJ, on an innovative Ignatian retreat. Fr. Kubicki, the national director of the Apostleship of Prayer and a widely experienced preacher, uses a unique heart-centered approach to help you apply the Spiritual Exercises to your daily life.

Through 12 conferences, Fr. Kubicki helps you make the Spiritual Exercises. These talks are not theoretical explanations of the various meditations in the Spiritual Exercises but rather reflections that will help you pray the Ignatian exercises following their four-week format. You will explore Scripture, personal anecdotes, and the wisdom of St. Ignatius to arrive at a deeper spiritual understanding. Fr. Kubicki's engaging and down-to-earth style will lead you to a deeper knowledge of the personal love of God and to a deeper level in your spiritual life.

Deepen your spirituality with the Spiritual Exercises today.

Powerful

Over the years, I have attended and listened to many retreats, including several produced by Learn25. In my view, this is the best presented and most spiritually edifying. Fr. Kubicki is a person of deep spiritual insight able to connect insights from the 600-year Ignatian tradition to real issues in modern life. If you are looking to deepen your faith and your relationship with Christ, I give this series my highest recommendation.

Kubicki is very thorough

James Kubicki does an excellent job in this book to examine "The Spiritual Exercises" and provides a wonderful analysis and exploration of how one could apply this spiritual mindset to your life.

A Great Teacher and Healer

Fr. Kubicki is an example of someone who not only "talks the talk" but "walks the walk." He's a Jesuit and spent years living on Native American reservations where he volunteered to help some of the most marginalized people in our society. He's an empathetic and knowledgeable presenter. You really couldn't ask for a better introduction to the Spiritual Exercises, which are grounded in Ignatian thought.

Spiritual nourishment for the soul

Over the years, I've taken many Jesuit retreats and seen the power of the Spiritual Exercises in my one life. This series is the most spiritually edifying approach to the Exercises. Fr. Kubicki a man on fire for God. With deep insight into prayer, discernment and life, he shares his wisdom in an upbeat practical presentation. I highly recommend this series to anyone seeking spiritual renewal.

A Retreat with Spiritual Exercises?

I found this confusing. I was looking for a book about the Spiritual exercises and this is a retreat supposedly based on the exercises of St Ignatius. The book seems to presume knowledge and does not explain clearly what the exercises are or outline well the process of following. I’m disappointed to have spent the credit to purchase and wish I could return it.
