The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius

---

The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius are a core offering at Francis House. The Exercises deepen your capacity for prayer and intimacy with God, free you from attachments, clarify your purpose and teach discernment of spirits, the art of finding God in all things. 

The Exercises provide a structure for your prayer, as you commit to 30 – 60 minutes of prayer daily.

Monty Williams is a Jesuit from his core, and his version of the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises gives witness to a depth of understanding of the human condition and Ignatian Spirituality for today. People have been asking me to offer this version for years. Here it is! I can’t wait! I have to say it is my favorite! We will use The Gift of Spiritual Intimacy by Monty Williams, SJ. Led by S.
