Welcome to spiritual-exercises.org!

 

All the materials on this website are designed to help you promote the Spiritual Exercises, one of the universal apostolic preferences of the Society of Jesus. I think they are a great resource for anyone working for mission and identity in a Jesuit institution. You can download all the films and texts to your computer and use them. I wish you much joy and success with them!

 

God bless you and thank you for supporting our mission!
