Product Overview
“Ignatian spirituality is unique in the Church because it finds its foundation in an exercise book,” writes David L. Fleming, S.J., in his introduction to this volume based on a Spiritual Exercises retreat he conducted for the California Province in 2004. Ignatius “wants us to have long ears, like a rabbit, so we can listen to our heart,” writes Fleming, who cautions against “trying to focus on a conversion of mind or of will.” Discipleship and Its Foundations includes his presentations to the retreat, emphasizing Ignatius’s theme of love as a necessary foundation for following Christ, along with prayers chosen for the grace of each day. It is designed for those who have previously made Ignatian retreats and are familiar with the Spiritual Exercises.
