Through Lent With Loyola: A distillation of The Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius Loyola (Christian Classics)

It has been described as an unsurpassed devotional aid. At one page a day, this booklet will take through Lent with a distillation of the spiritual exercises of Ignatius Loyola. Donald Nicholson has given us a gem of a book. It is small enough for those who have only a few minutes a day. It is big enough to inspire hours of prayer and contemplation. The author writes, 'I have dared to call this little book a distillation: which means, I suppose, a concentration. The daily dose is strong and should not be taken in one gulp but should, rather, be sipped and savoured, phrase by phrase... or diluted by deliberation. The time spent on each exercise should be longer than that required for the reading of it and the collect ought to follow a period of reflective silence. In this way we shall be able to take part in a sort of extended retreat.’
