St. Ignatius offered the Church the amazing gift of Spiritual Exercises and Rules of Discernment. Learn how encouragement and discouragement, consolation, and desolation, are opportunities for connecting with God. We are called to live for God’s love and in connection with God. Spiritual Exercises help us learn in a (w)holy way.
