Crafted in the 16th century, during the Catholic Reformation, the text employs a distinctive conversational and reflective style, making it accessible for individuals seeking both personal and communal spiritual enrichment. The Exercises are designed to facilitate a transformative experience, encouraging participants to confront their inner lives, discern God's will, and commit to a life of active love and service. Ignatius of Loyola, a Spanish priest and theologian, founded the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), profoundly influenced by his own spiritual awakening during a convalescence after a battle injury. This intense personal transformation paved the way for his creation of the Exercises, reflecting both his own journey and his theological framework grounded in discernment, service, and active engagement with the world. His life and spiritual authority lend immense weight to the text's compelling insights.
