Book Description

Excerpt from An Eight Days' Retreat for Religious Owing to a variety of circumstances it not seldom happens that a religious is unable to make the yearly retreat under a competent director with the rest of the community. In the majority of such cases the only alternative is to make the retreat by oneself, as best one may with the assistance of some standard commentary on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Igna tius. But as a rule these commentaries are found to be hardly adapted to this object. They are intended rather for the use of retreat-masters to help them bring out the profound doctrine, the logical sequence, and the lofty inspiration of the golden treatise left us by St. Ignatius Loyola.
