You will discover a treasure in this little booklet—for God wishes all of us to examine our lives in order to grow ever closer to Him. Our Lord is calling us—through the teachings of St. Ignatius of Loyola—to stretch our souls toward Him using the Ignatian exercises as countless millions have before us. This booklet will introduce you to St. Ignatius and his methods—it’s a perfect place to begin training your soul or to retrain a soul that has strayed.

出版者

The Classics Made Simple series aims to introduce the great works of Catholic literature to a wide readership. The Classics of the Faith are not meant only for saints and scholars: they’re meant for everyone. They’re wise, human, practical, and they have something important to say to each of us.

The Classics are also timeless. Other books come and go, passing with the tastes and fads of each generation. But the Catholic Classics remain and God has used them to teach and sanctify men and women of every age.

您将在这本小册子中发现一份宝藏——因为神希望我们所有人都省察自己的生命,以便日益亲近祂。我们的主正通过圣依纳爵·罗耀拉的教导,召唤我们运用依纳爵式神操,如同先前无数人那样,将我们的灵魂向祂伸展。这本小册子将向您介绍圣依纳爵及其方法——它是开始训练您的灵魂,或重新训练一个已偏离的灵魂的完美起点。

「经典简明」系列旨在向广大读者介绍天主教文学的伟大著作。信仰经典并非只为圣徒与学者而设:它们是为所有人而设。它们充满智慧、贴近人性、切合实际,并且对我们每一个人都有重要的话要说。

经典著作也是永恒的。其他书籍来来去去,随着每一代人的品味和潮流而消逝。但天主教经典著作却长存,神使用它们来教导并圣化每个时代的人们。
